The actual order is like this: v4.1-rc1 4.1-rc2 4.1-rc3 ... 4.1-rc8 v4.1 - v4.2-rc1 v4.2-rc2 ... (Linus tree) note this is a branch in different tree-> \ 4.1.1 4.1.2 4.1.3 4.1.4 (stable tree) Note the .1 .2 .3 are "stable" releases not even tagged in Linus's tree, as they are backports of fixes that have landed in newer trees. So for instance, if a regression is found and fixed in the v4.2-rc2 release, it may be backported and become part of 4.1.5 or whatever. Hope that clarifies things for you.
