I totally agree with Greg. 2.6.35 could also be a good version to
focus because people in the embedded world agreed that to reduce
fragmentation they will define kernels "Embedded Flag Versions". A
flag version will be a specific kernel version that vendors will based
their products on.

Many big players (Sony, Google, Meego, and Linaro)  will be using
2.6.35 in its upcoming products so it seems that this version will be
declare as a "flag version" for embedded use.

We can for example have three branches: 2.6.32, 2.6.35 and linux-next.
