Seven new stable kernels
I know that it's stupid, but part of me still really dislikes the arbitrary nature of kernel versions. I miss the way major and minor version numbers carried some meaning in the past. Of course, the rate of change now makes that difficult.

When did the version numbers ever mean anything? Are you thinking about the "big changes" from ipfw to ipchains to iptables? Or the "big kernel lock?" Or how everyone ran 2.5 for three years (I might exaggerate) because no one would stop adding things "for 2.6?"
