It's not a big deal, it's only numbers.  The motivation was that it didn't
get reset when we went from 2.6.22 to 2.6.23, and after one build hits
rawhide, it's too late.  Also, it's just better because it accurately
reflects the topology of change.  A spec release is a variant of a kernel
snapshot, not vice versa.
