Why 6.06.1 ?

[ruscook]

I may be wrong but as 6.06 has the Long Term Support moniker attached to 
it's name, I'd say we need to remember updates are NOT a new release but 
a patch to the release 6.06. So the next VERSION of Ubuntu is 6.10 
(Edgy), but for a number of years, 6.06 will be maintained and updated 
as patch releases of the original 6.06. Probably a 6.06.1; 6.06.2 .... 
6.06.n etc.

This is not just semantics, but relates to what will be covered in the 
upgrades, what regression  and certification testing is expected etc.
