I think we should follow kernel.org main page and name modules 
accordingly:
mainline: 	3.2			linux
stable: 	3.1.8			linux-stable
stable: 	3.0.16		linux-stable-old
stable: 	2.6.39.4		linux-2.6
stable: 	2.6.35.14		linux-stable-2.6
stable: 	2.6.33.20		linux-stable-2.6-old
stable: 	2.6.32.53		linux-stable-2.6-deprecated
Mainline would be always recent using linux module.

linux-next: 	next-20120110 only on gitweb not tarball. Released daily.
I do not see any reason to implement this one. It changes too often so no 
use on server/desktop.

have a nice day,
