1	Absolutely not. The policy is the correct method for numbering
2	versions. Your original understanding of how the policy used versions,
3	and how the kernel developers is incorrect. You could consider the
4	2.4.22_pre kernels as 2.4.21_p kernels... they are patches on top of
5	2.4.21 that will someday in the future become 2.4.22, therefore they're
6	newer. The portage policy is exactly in line with this.
