I guess that depends on your definition of "breaks".  One way of looking
at it is that folks who set PREFERRED_VERSION_linux = "2.6.21" are
wanting the actual version 2.6.21, not 2.6.21.7, and might be dismayed
to find that they have suddenly been bumped to the latter with no way to
get back to what they had before.

2.6.21.7 clearly is a new upstream release and I would have thought that
it is appropriate to reflect that in PV rather than hiding it behind a
PR increment.
