Hi
If the plan is that the new kernel is going to be 3.0 (3.x) and the
-stable kernels then get to tack on a third digit with EXTRAVERSION, then
it seems to me that the main Makefile should get rid of SUBLEVEL - or?
Or is the plan to ditch EXTRAVERSION for -stable kernels and have them use
SUBLEVEL instead?
There are a few scripts that need fixing if SUBLEVEL goes the way of the
Dodo, but I didn't want to start fixing those without a clear indication
of whether or not SUBLEVEL is going to/should die.
So what's going to happen to SUBLEVEL/EXTRAVERSION?

I cannot answer this, but I'd certainly like to see a clear answer
since I also have several scripts that need such attention.

And besides our own personal scriots there's also stuff like
scripts/patch-kernel and Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
that need updating.

Linus: ping?
Would be nice to get this clarified before 3.0 happens :-)

I don't think I can realistically make it call itself 3.0, even though
the *tag* will certainly be just 3.0.
I considered making it a config option (so that people with fixed
tools could do it), but ..

Ok, so SUBLEVEL will stay. I guess that the stable kernels will then just
use that and EXTRAVERSION will go away - right?
