@simon But, but Linus is scared of big version numbers ! And now there's Rust in his kernel.
(This is just referencing how the major version number for the linux kernel gets updated: when Linus finds the minor number too high)
It is an interesting question to ask : when does the major number becomes meaningless because it is frozen ?
(Apple got stuck on macOS 10 for ages, and eventually stopped the macOS 10.X and switched back to macOS N and then macOS YY, not without having some macOS 11 pretends to be macOS 10.xx thing under the hood).
