  From the above link (emphasize is mine) > This release increases the major version number to 5. This change does not mean anything and does not affect programs in any way, it just makes Linus happy. Oh...

    Gotta bump it sometime, although the fact that the major version is now fairly arbitrary gives some credibility to what I like to call the "Chrome" versioning scheme. Next release, Linux 6, 7, 8, etc. EDIT: I mean, at this point I guess you'd say it's just basically SemVer.
