Hi there,
There are rumors that the next version number of the Linux Kernel is going to be 3.0. Since we choosed 'kernel26' as the package name, we will have to modify it anyway. Why not just 'linux 3.0'? Just an idea.. since we have the fellow project 'Arch Hurd' providing 'hurd' as an alternative different kernel already.
I'd like to suggest a more complex name: "linux-kernel". Related packages can be called "linux-api-headers", "linux-docs". Perhaps we may provide alternative kernels? With names like these, we may get a brand new project named "Arch Operating System", providing Linux, BSD, Hurd or even more as kernels, and users are free to choose any one. Well, this is really interesting. It'd be the first OS to provide multiple kernels!
Best, Bernardo
