But you missed the biggest change of all - the name:

2 alastair@gluck:~/linux-2.6> head Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 2
EXTRAVERSION =
NAME=Feisty Dunnart

That's right, the name is no longer just a vague christening issued by Linus; it's actually embedded in the Makefile now. That makes me wonder what they're planning to do with it! I have mailed in for clarification :-)
