Ok,
the naming should be familiar - it's the same deal as with 2.4.0.
One difference is that while 2.4.0 took about 7 months from the pre1 to
the final release, I hope (and believe) that we have fewer issues facing
us in the current 2.6.0. But very obviously there are going to be a
few test-releases before the real thing.
The point of the test versions is to make more people realize that they
need testing and get some straggling developers realizing that it's too
late to worry about the next big feature. I'm hoping that Linux vendors
will start offering the test kernels as installation alternatives, and
do things like make upgrade internal machines, so that when the real
2.6.0 does happen, we're all set.

usblp: usb_buffer_free() not called Here is the blind flight :-)
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c usblp->dev was set to NULL to
indicate a device disconnect but we need this value for
usb_buffer_free() when device is still opened and cleanup is
delayed until usblp_release().
Linus Torvalds:
Avoid mmap() overflow case if TASK_SIZE is the full range of an
"unsigned long" (sparc64).
