Unless we change the meaning of the numbers, I see little reason to bump
to 2.8.
The only reason for change would be to merge 2.6 into 3, so we don't need
2.6.29, 2.6.29.1, but instead we go to 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and then
3.1-rc1 becomes 3.1 and 3.1.1 is the next patch of it, and then
3.2-rc1 etc. I don't see a problem to go over 9 on the second number
either, so 3.23-rc1 is fine.
Makes it one less number to describe what kernel one is talking about.
Saying 2.6.29.2 is a bit cumbersome, I'd much prefer 3.0.2.
