Understood, but what I was trying to tell is that given the current
kernel development model talking about 3.0 tell nothing, that's a
particular version.

As 3.1 is just another one, and so on. You plan to change the reference
all time a new kernel version is released?

If you think about versions what's important is to know which ones are
considered for a "long time support" (like 2.6.32) but they are not
bound to a given prefix or to a numbering schema.

If you are talking about kernel features, they change in each version,
being constantly added, but the most of them are the same that were
present also in most recent 2.6.x releases.

That's the reason I'm not convinced about using a version, because
knowing/explaining what's the meaning of the kernel versions now is what
should be required for both candidates and courseware.
