* [PATCH][TRIVIAL][2.6] Bugzilla bug # 984 - 2.6 readme is still for 2.5

  To: Linus Torvalds, Kernel Mailing List

The README still contains bunch of 2.5.x. Even though we are technically not
yet in 2.6, the file can (and should) be "fixed" now, so that we don't have to think
about such trivial things later.
