I think you'e possibly a little confused about this.
The release kernels have a even middle number (ie 2.0.X, 2.2,X, 2.4,X) and
the dev ones have an odd middle number (ie. 2.1.X, 2.3.X)

Although as far as I'm aware they've not created a 2.5.X tree yet.

2.4.6.  But Roswell isn't going to be the final 7.2 release, it's just the
beta.  The final will have another codename.
