So what if they're confused? If they're official releases, blessed
with holy penguin pee, then shouldn't they be in the standard release
area?

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

could just be extended down with a directory for each version
released, and the directory holds the ChangeLog, linux-... and
patch-... files.

Thanks for doing the stable branch in any case!
