It is really different interpretations about what the numbers mean. Slight nuances maybe. What they really mean is Linus is applying different criteria to what is allowed in a patch. His judgement not mine not yours. He has the vision. I don't agree with all of it but it is his. So far I've been more than rewarded by my acceptance of his Vision. Their other options available SCO, Solaris, MS ... ,BSD, VMS, MSOS all with their own visions and followings. Linus vision has given us stable versions in the past and will again this time. When, well based on the significance of change between 1.2 and 2.0 about 2.0.25 by my guess. I will know if it survives a month without patches.

As far as I know. Linus is still asking us to test the changes He would like things to be perfect but he doesn't controll the Hardware environment. He will know things are right about a day earlier than the rest of us. Only because most people direct address him, while the rest of us wait on vger.
