    Phoronix: The Switch Has Been Made From C89 To C11/GNU11 With Linux 5.18

    As we approach the end of the first week of the Linux 5.18 merge window, another note worthy pull request to land is the switching of the C language standard from GNU89 (C89) to GNU11 (C11)...

          The deprecation of ReiserFS, the new C standard and possibly the new headers are rather big changes... Will Linus raise the kernel version number to 6?

          3.19 was the last 3 series kernel, 4.20 was the last 4 series one. Might 5.17 be the last 5 series kernel?

            Linus has said many times that the version number has nothing to do with features. He just bumps major when he feels like minor gets too large.
