I think the problem with that is that it's still going to break scripts.
The changes in Greg's repo is a fork of Linus's kernel. Thus 3.0.1 will
not be an incremental step into 3.1.0. We wont be having patches that
take us from 3.0.1 to 3.1.0, so things like ketchup will break when it
tries to do such a thing without changing the way it currently works.
If we need to change ketchup (and other scripts) to handle this
difference, might as well do it correctly.
