You're confused.

Kernel versioning numbers work like this:
major# . minor# . release#
Major numbers change when there's enough of a change to the kernel to
warrant it.  The change from a.out to elf warranted a move major number
1 to major number 2.
The minor number tells you if the release is stable or unstable
(development).  Even numbers (0 is even for our purposes) denote stable,
odd numbers denote unstable.
Release numbers are, well, release numbers.

That help?
