For me, 3.12.58-something means "something" on top of 3.12.58. Many (most? all?) forks work like this, but here it seems that instead it's 3.12 + your selection of fixes from kernels up to 3.12.58. I guess it would be much less confusing to call it something like 3.12.0-security58 or something like this (or maybe simply 3.12.0.58). Some people might be tempted to upgrade from 3.12.40 to 3.12.58-security and will possibly discover some breakage due to bugs that were fixed between 3.12 and 3.12.40 and which are not fixed in 3.12.58-security.
