Ingo, Thomas,

As far as I can tell, the -rt patch set is only updated for the latest 
kernel version available. Is that correct?

In other words, once 2.6.20 is released, and work starts on 2.6.21, if a 
bug is discovered in -rt, the fix will not be back-ported to the 
2.6.20.x (and 2.6.19.x, and 2.6.18.x, etc) patch set?
