http://www.kernel.org/prepatch.html defines it
as  "Prepatches are the equivalent to alpha 
releases for Linux...". 

www.kernel.org lists 2.5.8-pre3 and
2.5.34 as the latest prepatch and beta
versions of the kernel.  What is throwing
me off is why is the prepatch for 2.5 listed
at 2.5.8? Does this mean that if they are
proven ok for users of 2.5.8 it will be
forward ported to 2.5.34?  But why
are these patches being tested under 2.5.8
instead of the latest beta?
