Why no linux-2.6.8.2? (was Re: new dev model)

[Chuck Ebbert]

Why has linux 2.6.8 been abandoned at version 2.6.8.1?

There exist fixes that could go into 2.6.8.2:

        process start time doesn't match system time
        FDDI frame doesn't allow 802.3 hwtype
        NFS server using XFS filesystem on SMP machine oopses

I'm sure there are more...

So why is 2.6.8.1 a "dead branch?"
