Interesting. We already have a pre-Linus tree, in Andrew's *-mm. Currently, each distro adds its own set of patches, on top of some version of a Linus tree. If we had a blessed post-Linus tree, which the 2.6.<even>.y numbering fits, then we could unify this post-Linus tree patching to some degree as well, to the general benefit of most everyone involved. A bit of holy penguin pee, a chosen spot in the official numbering scheme, and a good choice of penguin prince as manager of this release series should be enough to get this going.
