But this is only because you are maintaining a source code that is several
years old, right? Would maintaining a series numbered 2002.x.y make your
situation a lot better? Do you think you'd never make typo '2002 instead
of 2006' any more?

Or how would you distingiush the kernel tree you are maintaing from the
one Linus is maintaining?
