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.
