that's on my list for tomorrows fun. *sigh*.

Without it, theres no way to distinguish a 2.6.9-1.1 for FC2 from
a 2.6.9-1.1 from FC3 development (extreme example used, but you get the
idea).  I still occasionally see folks filing bugs against _ancient_
kernels, so its feasible that it could come from either.
The alternative would've been something like 2.6.9-1.1.1

Well, my plan is to have all three currently kernels that I'm still
actively responsible for on at least roughly the same footing so that
they all get to benefit from the wider testing, and also sharing
fixes from other streams.
