Estava em discuss�o[1] um novo esquema de numera��o para o kernel Linux. Em
vez do tradicional 2.6.x seria adotado 2.6.x.y, com o intuito de facilitar
a r�pida integra��o de modifica��es menores.

Portanto, se de fato foi implementado este novo esquema de numera��o, �
equivocado adotar um tom pejorativo ao se referir aos "remendos" da vers�o
2.6.11.


1. Revamped Linux Kernel Numbering Concluded

 kernel_dan writes  "Following on the  heels of  a prior discussion  about a
kernel  numbering  scheme,  KernelTrap  has  the  conclusion. From  summary:
"Linus Torvalds decided against trying to  add meaning to the odd/even least
significant number. Instead,  the new plan is  to go from the  current 2.6.x
numbering to a  finer-grained 2.6.x.y. Linus will continue  to maintain only
the 2.6.x releases, and the -rc releases in between. Others will add trivial
patches  to create  the 2.6.x.y  releases. Linus cautions  that the  task of
maintaining  a  2.6.x.y  tree  is  not  going  to  be  enjoyable.'" Torvalds
suggested specific guidelines to alleviate burn-out of the .y maintainer and
Greg KH volunteered to begin maintainership."
