Personally I find this too seem like such a feature that would warrant a new major version, and that doing a major version bump when it gets accepted or when that code is considered stable would make sense for many users.
but I feel I have likely missed something that would equally warrant a similar bump, so I ask what the community thinks of this.Would it demerit other large chances and are there other reasons to not do this? (save for the opinion of Linus)

Originally posted by Stellarwind View PostTransition from 2.4 to 2.6 was a huge step with alot of kernel subsystems changing, but since then development model changed, 2.6 to 3.0 was mostly meaningless, just because version numbers hit high values. kdbus is not important at all, it is a thing you can turn off and loose nothing and in no way major feature for a kernel.

Linus doesn't bump kernel version number every time new filesystem is accepted into mainline, why should this happen for kdbus?
