Given that 1.5 seems to be barely a gleam in releng's eye at the
moment, and that we seem to be going through kernel rev letters like
hotcakes, I wonder if it mightn't be better to do something allowing
more than 26 more revs...how about

1.4ZAA
1.4ZAB
1.4ZAC
...
1.4ZAZ
1.4ZBA
1.4ZBB
1.4ZBC
...
1.4ZBZ
1.4ZCA

I don't see any need for a third letter; if 1.5 is more than 676 kernel
revs off, we've got worse problems than our naming scheme.
