It occurred to me that another approach might make sense:
Linux was released in 1991 with a 1.0 in 1994, correct? So, why not make
1991 sort of the Linux Epoch? The major number would be the decade since
Linux' release (this being the second decade of Linux, it works well)
and the minor number could be the year within that decade of releases.
I like this idea personally because it doesn't break the current
numbering scheme (2.7 is still skipped, though) and it can be
self-consistent for a number of years. When Linux reaches its fifth
decade and its midlife crisis, it'll be in version 5.0.
I don't know. That's my shed's color. :)
