Version numbers should not be only numerology, but connected to quality or progress. Comparing the situation of the 1, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 versions, since starting 2.6 , the progress of the kernel, and also the situation of Linux as a whole and of its use changed very. Exactly in the last subversions with many new hardware modules/drivers the quality improved very. At the same time, the subversions becomes too much since the last new version. Thus, it's time for 2.8 or even 3.0 in order to mark this very improved quality and use of Linux since the start of the 2 and 2.6 versions. wl --- Professional hosting for everyone - http://www.host.ru
