Just when you thought 2.6 would go on forever...

The changelog for 3.0-rc1:

    Linux 3.0-rc1
    
    .. except there are various scripts that really know that there are
    three numbers, so it calls itself "3.0.0-rc1".
    
    Hopefully by the time the final 3.0 is out, we'll have that extra
    zero all figured out.
    
    Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds at linux-foundation.org>

If there's something you need w.r.t. the "extra zero", I'd say now is
the time to speak up :)

Cheers,


Jeremy
