Do you really believe Linux kernel will make it through 2100?

I bet by that time we will have some totally different hardware and
software. Besides none of use will be alive by that time, so I don't
see a problem. Besides, upon reaching 2100, if Linux still exists in
its current form, the first digit could be increased to 4. :)

Best wishes,

Artem
