Another strange thing:
8.1 = kernel-2.4.21 8.2 = kernel-2.4.20
Is there newer developement on 8.1 than on 8.2?
When doing configuration management for multiple release branches it is sometimes better to fix an old release and sometimes better to replace the old release with a later one where the fix can be applied in a more simple way. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, the release managers have to decide in that situation. Because of that it can happen that sometimes older distribution versions have later versions of some part than newer ones. This is quite normal in software release management. I can't tell you what the reason for 8.1 was to change to a 2.4.21 kernel. But I assume the people that decided to do this change actually had a reason doing so.
