I was recreating some old memories from 2000s and I obviously mentioned mIRC being awesome at the time. And then I googled it purely out of fun and ... well holy crap - mIRC is STILL being actively developed, to this day, by the SAME guy (Khaled Mardam-Bey). And he's still charging $20 for a licence ...

Big Linux 2.82.0 (2023) release vibe. The gist is... 3.0 wasn't breaking, they just got tired of ticking minor versions. The what if is what if Linux hadn't done that... What if we just stuck on Linux 2, as semver suggests we do? I think that has premise has held true forever, that major versions are just for show on Linux.
I used to keep the tally of Linux releases... Wonder where we really are.
