A lot of broken software is assuming version numbers are 2.6.x. We could push a load
of userspace packages to fix it, but that's just the stuff we control. 3rd party
add-ons
would break for no good reason.
This deviates from what upstream calls it, but it's just a number, and not breaking
existing code in an update is more important here.
Of course you are absolutely right at this point :)
Thanks for your answer.
For f16 of course, we'll make
the 3.0 transition, because moving to a new release has differing expectations,
and by the time it ships, hopefully everything that cares will be fixed.
