I would think that "minor version bumps" would be permissible. My

the remaining 1/3 to resolving issues a bad idea? The other idea was
to set it after rc1, which leaves only 1/6
of the release cycle for resolving issues.

I agree with this...

As for not having a kernel backup when we upgrade the kernel, the
problem with that is, how can you discern
the proper version of the old kernel in the initrd package? Unless we
can backup the initrd properly as well, any
kernel backup is useless.

What about versioning the initrd: initrd.img-3.2.1-1fw2? You don't need to symlink anything, just parsing the grub config. Other distros solved this, check them how...
