Two questions about FC1 kernel upgrades

[Daniel Robitaille <fedora robitaille fastmail fm>]

1) Since I installed FC1 just before Christmas, I have had to do 4
kernel upgrades in 3 weeks.  Is that an anomalous period, or it's
always going to be like that in the Fedora world?  I don't remember so many
kernel updates in a short time like this with RHL8/9. Or I'm getting
what I'm paying for? :)

 Dec 24 14:48 vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl 
 Jan  6 17:50 vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2138.nptl
 Jan  7 23:19 vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2140.nptl
 Jan 13 20:40 vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl



2) What is the history behind these numbers? (2135, 2138, etc)?  It's
obviously a version number, but was it ever "1"?  (maybe with the first
RH 2.4.x kernel???)
