1) we already know the kernel is apparently staying v2, although so far it appears to be the only thing.
2) Yes, Stallman would create new v3 versions of his ~5,000 software tools, and encourage the devs to use the new versions. The can use the v2 Linux kernel on their v3 anti-DRM frankenstein O/S without needing a different kernel, and the anti-DRM folks across the globe willl likely rush to using it just like some use the "all-free" Debian now.
