That's when 2.6 became a rolling release.All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

But that's a different topic entirely lol

Also, DX skipped four exactly due to this, but LibreOffice seems fine...

Adding up all the changes between 3.0 and 3.20 accumulates to a ton of change. It's the accumulation of change that warrants the major version change.

Missing fifth element, wood (aka spirit), is missing, which brings chaos and disbalance, and movement.

Since kernel development is incremental why dont they just adopt same version numbering like ff/chrome/systemd...
