Re: Why do we have a kernel with version number - 20X?

That's a pretty arcane scheme. Would it work to use 17xx, 18xx and 19xx instead? -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

We really don't need a discussion as to the colour of the bike, the people who are maintaining shed have made the decision it will work.
