Linus, sorry but I can't agree with your decision.
I'm not a developer, just an user and for me at least, there's no sense in supplying a patch related do 2.6.8 instead of 2.6.8.1.
I always update my kernel when the official patch is announced and I'd expect to follow a well defined order (2.6.8 -> 2.6.8.1 -> 2.6.9...).
Suppose we had 2.6.8.1, 2.6.8.2, 2.6.8.3 until 2.6.8.10. Should I remove 10 patches just to update to 2.6.9? For me it's a waste of time.
I know you kernel developers use BK or some other method, but...
Thanks.
