Curious how/if Redhat would deal with date-based versioning. 2.6.32 was originally released ~6 years ago and for-better-for-worse their frequent security patching would make the original release date fairly irrelevant.
Agreed, even more so because RedHat doesn't just backport security fixes, but also features (one example is the btrfs stuff in RHEL6, which, according to a developer, is from Linux ~3.8 IIRC).
