The point is to rebase to a new system at a point coming up which is

2.8.0, dropping the constant 2.6.

I suppose one counts 2.8.1, 2.8.2 from then on, or does whatever else
one wants to do.  I don't know - Linus' only objective is to get smaller
more meaningful numbers and the details of how one counts afterwards
don't matter.

Or if one misses the 2.6.28 point, one gets another good opportunity for
rebasing at 2.6.30, which could become 3.0.0, dropping the constant 2.6
again.



We need smaller numbers now.

I.e.  We're happy with the system we've got, except for the high
numbers we're at, so just rebase.
