What about 2.6.15? Either it's a stable or a development kernel.

A `stable kernel' is the latest kernel considered to be stable, whoever that is released by.
So the sequence of stable kernels might go
2.6.14.2 -stable
It's stable, but it's not the latest -stable kernel. No -stable kernel has been released for 2.6.15 yet.Kernel release status
You have lost me. What is the difference between a stable and a -stable Kernel release status
kernel? If it is not the latest stable kernel, what is? It is according to
www.kernel.org... Anyways, I'd like to see a summary of what I can expect
in kernel 2.6.15.
A `-stable kernel' is a kernel released from the -stable branch (gregkh being the sucker maintaining it), which accumulates small, safe, critical fixes to Linus's kernels. It's currently maintained until the next Linus kernel is released, and then one last -stable is released for the previous branch containing all accumulated fixes for that branch that hadn't get been released.Kernel release status
2.6.14.3 -stable
2.6.14.4 -stable
2.6.15 (Linus)
2.6.14.5 one last -stable for people who can't upgrade to 2.6.15 yet
2.6.15.1 (now in its review cycle: expect a release soon)
