For example in kernel version number 2.4.18 2 is the VERSION 4 is the PATCHLEVEL and 18 is the SUBLEVEL. I believe since kernel version 2, kernel development was arranged in a way that even PATCHLEVELs are regarded as a "stable" branch and an uneven PATCHLEVEL is a "development" branch that regular linux users should not work with. It is only for kernel developers for working out a "better kernel". So 2.5 is not for regular use.
