That file is full of weird version numbers; is there a reason why you want
to change that one in particular?  The 2.6.8-rc3 reference immediately
afterward doesn't seem more worthy of protection.

This file is dramatically out of date in general.  Rather than change the
version number at the head of the list of status files, why not update the
list to match current reality?  There are a lot of things missing.

Failing that, I would entertain a patch that simply removes most of the
version numbers from this file; I don't think they provide any useful
information, and I certainly don't see the value of occasionally tweaking
them forward.

Thanks,

jon

commit 15eb42d674de8da66950f78b5c7202accabe026e
had updated Table 1-2 in this doc.

When we posted it, we thought it's for in 3.20.
Now it comes to mainline from mm tree, it's 4.1 now.
So I think we need a surplus patch for it.

Also, patch Reviewed-by: Nathan Scott <nathans@redhat.com>

Before someone could be able to update the whole file,
keeping version numbers still help.
