In the X server I try to keep the original version the patch was against in the name, to give some idea of how old a patch is. Admittedly this is less useful with the kernel because you guys have ridiculous version numbers, but even just being able to see the difference between linux-2.6.9-foo.patch and linux-2.6.27-bar.patch might be useful.
Way back when, we used to do that. But that kind of loses its meaning too. For stuff that's never going upstream, you end up with linux-2.6.5-execshield And for other patches older than 1 version, why aren't they upstream again?
