So what's the verdict? Are we calling it 3.0 or 2.6? Who am I to say this, but I really feel calling it kernel 3.0 is not fully justified. We should stick with the 2.x series until major ABI or API changes break the C library in massive ways, at which point we increment the major version number.
Although its tempting to appeal to the mainstream by inflating the version number artificially (what's Redhat up to now? 8.0?? sheesh!!), we have to respect ourselves as developers. Why call it 3.0, other than to stroke our own egos?
