Could you please consider use 5.20 as next version number instead of 
6.0? "5.20" is a wordplay number in Chinese, which means "I love you". 
Thus "Linux 5.20" can be read as "I love Linux" in Chinese. So I think 
it's good thing to release something like "Linux 5.20 I love linux 
edition", just like "Linux For Workgroups 3.11" in the past.
