Apparently the definitions have changed over the past few years. On another subject, is all this new "testXX-preYY" stuff over now that 2.4.0 is out, and will we be going back to the standard x.y.z numbering scheme? Or is this another thing that's changed for good? I really miss being able to apply all the patches at once with linux/scripts/patchkernel.
