I don't understand what the problem is. Nothing is stopping us from having
2.6.7 nd 2.6.8 in parallel in th archive. You should start maybe by making an
svn cp of the 2.6.7 stuff, and then modifying this new branch.

Cool. Benh told me that powerpc-pegasos was not yet applied, but i have hope
that it will still happen before the 2.6.8 release.
