OK, I've missed the whole discussion so I have few questions:

1) YYYY.MM will stay the same as when the kernel was released,
i.e. the bugfix for 2007.10-1 release will be 2007.10-2 even if it
will be in November?
I think it is OK as it clearly states that they are using the same
kernel (and they will have the same codename).

2) What's wrong with YYYY.MM = release, YYYY.MM.{1,2,3,...} - bugfix
release (e.g. 2007.08 and 2007.08.1)?

Sorry, I don't want to start another round of discussion, I'm just curious.
