Linus should pull a Volkerding and jump straight to Linux kernel version 11.0.

Also, japanese companies avoid using business phone numbers with lots of 4s in them, like 0168-129-444 or some thing, even though in the phone number four is pronounced as "yon".. So brosis isn't really wrong, however I also don't think japanese people desperately try to avoid it at all costs.. They understand that it is still just a number..

That it is only unlucky when pronounced as "shi"?.. In that case, why do some (not many really, less than 1%) japanese buildings skip the fourth floor even though in japanese "fourth floor" is pronounced "yonkai"(四階)?..

Let's just exclude all forms of superstition from our kernel and get on with our lives.
By the way, isn't superstition illegal in China?

Ah, wait, someone is telling that they don't like 6 either
Maybe the solution is to stop numbering things altogether?
Or maybe to tell superstitious people to shove it up where it belongs? who knows?
