Quite a Milestone!

The irony is that, like 3.0, this release does not actually do anything different from normal releases.

Linux will never break backwards compatibility enough to justify a major version bump, so the major version is effectively meaningless.

Or maybe they'll pile up digits on higher positions. Linux 04.00, Linux 04.15; Linux 14.30 (new design).
