Stable kernels 2.6.30.1, 2.6.29.6, and 2.6.27.26

Stable kernels 2.6.30.1, 2.6.29.6, and 2.6.27.26 have been released by the stable team. Each contains quite a number of patches (111, 35, and 32 respectively) all over the tree, some with security implications. The 2.6.29.6 release comes with an important note: "This is the last release of the 2.6.29 kernel series. All users are strongly suggested to move to the 2.6.30 release series at this time."

Something don't sound quite right. The -stable team once set out to provide stable issues for *two* releases. That would be 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 at the moment. And now, they are stopping the 2.6.29 one already? Hummm!

It's fine with me, I do not mind going back to -stabling just one release — after all, it's a free service. But other users may be going to harrumph harder.

looks to me like latest and 2.6.27 are the two they are supporting.
presumably 2.6.27 is important because it's the basis for RHEL6 & SLES11.
