Some people believe bz2 to be buggy or otherwise less tolerant of
corruption. For most people these things don't seem to come up; I've
never had problems with either despite frequent work with large
compressed datasets.

Linus decided that patches will always be off the previous
non-extraversion tarball. Note that -rc3 is not relative to -rc2, so in
that way its consistent. The reason Linus gave is that such
trivial-but-important bugfixes may come *after* the next version has
releases or release cantidates, so this is the only sane way. For
example, if another tiny code bug motivated making a 2.6.8.2, the
release cantidates shouldn't have to be rediffed. Hopefully it makes
sense now :)
