For one thing this was to find out if anyone screams about loosing "linux24" :-) A rename of the majorly used package "linux" means many other, e.g. architecture and target overloads, need to be adapted, etc., … not to mention shared file conflicts on user systems when they emerge an update which will clash between "linux26" and "linux", … though "linux" without number prefix is much nicer, matches to the "linux-header" package, … and is certainly nice in the long run.
