Hi, I got a question regarding to Linux's version number. According to some talk from Greg KH, there would be an accompanying stable release along with every -rc release, that is, something like this: 4.2.0 | \ 4.3.1-rc 4.2.1 | | 4.3.2-rc 4.2.2 | | 4.3.3-rc 4.2.3 | | 4.3.4-rc 4.2.4 | | 4.3.5-rc 4.2.5 | | 4.3.6-rc 4.2.6 | | 4.3.7-rc 4.2.7 <- this branch is thrown away after 4.4.0 is released | 4.4.0 So, in this example, 4.2.7 would be thrown away after 4.4.0 is released. Is this the same for every major release? I see a series of 4.4.x release, ranging from 4.4.1 ~ 4.4.49, at http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source which really confused me. Accoding to the model above, there should be only 4.4.7. After that, it would 4.5.x. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks, Yubin
