Wouldn't it make sense to avoid the need to do this in the future?

Specifically, make a tree named "linux" available - that's always the
Linus tree.

Create linux-2.6/2.8/3.0/3.2 etc as they are handed off to maintainers
*other* than Linus?

Or some combination that makes sense.  It just seems weird to me to need
to continually change the name of the main development tree.
