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,
