Fix for module-init-tools coming shortly. I suspect other programs and scripts will spontaneously explode though with the new numbering. Looks like Linus has gone for 3.0.0 in the interim.

Pushed it out for Fedora, but there seems to be some problem with hera syncing tonight, so it's not showing up on kernel.org yet.

After testing it out, compiling and adjusting Grub respectively, the system crashed after booting up. I notice the directory created in '/lib/modules/' is named '3.0.0-rc1' as opposed to '3.0-rc1' in '/usr/src/' where the source was extracted.

And it's in the commit log of the v3.0-rc1 commit referencing tag as to why (namely, because the details have not been figured out yet).

I think X.Y.Z (Major.Minor.Patch) is a good thing - it's more consistent with the stable/patch releases to always have 3 components.
Also, it's closer to Semantic Versioning ( http://semver.org ) - which I like because it brings some guidelines/sanity to versions and dependencies.
