Encourage upgrades to the latest -- I agree.  The downside, however, is
when the latest causes new problems -- so I'll keep 2.6.1 around for
comparisons until after 2.6.2 comes out. (or until divergence makes it a
pain to maintain;-)

Also, when we reach the point that distros base a release on 2.6, it is
useful to have a tree of the same vintage to make patching the distro
tree viable.
