I wasn't aware that "not long" can mean "forever". Linus is not in the
habit of changing past versions.
In any case, the claim was that 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 wouldn't have come out
because 2.3 kernels were already begun, and that's just plain wrong. If
you want to point to maintaining "old" kernels, point to 2.0.36 and
friends instead.
