New 2.6.0 naming

Keep the name, it's just a name, a rose by any other name 
still has thorns :-)

Technically, I doubt they're gonna start on 2.7 for awhile 
and even if they do I doubt it'll be usable in early iterations.


On kernels, I'd like to see some experimentation with snapshots
of glibc+nptl. NPTL was merged into glibc back in september and
is probably getting close to release.

I think the right time to release a new 'stable' 2.6 kernel into
moonbase is after we have a working & stable glibc+NPTL.
