A few months ago, I briefly considered suggesting that the demise of the BKL
would be a suitable milestone for the numbering shakeup.
But I am a mere mortal lurker, and I remember past flame-fests this topic

As a small-scale linux evangelist, I would sure like to skip the explanation
of the version numbers.
