You're proposing a system where you have: 2.6.10 2.6.10-???1 2.6.10-???2 2.6.10-???3 2.6.11-rc1 2.6.11-rc2 2.6.11-rc3 2.6.11 ... Or, in other words, you don't want Linus to "Stop doing the pre's", you're wanting exactly the same scheme 2.4 is using and works preety fine: just replace 10 by 11 in the '???' series, replace '???' by 'pre' and you have: x.y.z x.y.z+1-pre1 ... x.y.z+1-preN x.y.z+1-rc1 2.4 model allways worked fine, we should stick with it instead of pulling our hair out trying to figure out how to solve the problem that is already solved.
