Well, the patch effectively updates the kernel source-code (before
building it) to 2.6.20-rc4.
So this is indeed a 2.6.20-rc4 version, which, as I understand it, dave
also fully recognizes.

FWIW, I really have no hard standpoint on whether the kernel rpm should
be named after the released base version or the version of the next
kernel, when it includes preX or rcX patches from a newer version (which
it will most of the time). I can definitely see pros and cons of each
approach. It seems a little more sane to use 2.6.19 for %version, when
it's not really a 2.6.20 yet. On the other hand, the upstream version
really is 2.6.20rc4, only %version cannot have rc4 IIRC... so... Take
your pick.
Just my 2 cents.
