Traditionally, the spec versioning has been exclusively linear -- i.e., now that 6.0 has replaced 5.1, there will be no more 5.x. There may be errata published (e.g., there was a 5.1A, and a 6.0A is forthcoming) but the errata are not encoded in tables anywhere since they are meant only as corrections to the base version. This is unlikely to change, but not impossible, of course :). The only reason for putting in macros for 5.1 and 6.0 is that those are the versions that I'm concerned with for this particular fix and I know I will use them. If others are needed, I'd have those that need them add them. -- ciao, al ----------------------------------- Al Stone Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. ahs3@redhat.com ----------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
