    Why has linux 2.6.8 been abandoned at version 2.6.8.1?

    There exist fixes that could go into 2.6.8.2:

            process start time doesn't match system time
            FDDI frame doesn't allow 802.3 hwtype
            NFS server using XFS filesystem on SMP machine oopses

    I'm sure there are more...

    So why is 2.6.8.1 a "dead branch?"
