Pffft, could just pull a Linus instead and rename all current releases by adding one in front of the major version and resetting the patch number. 4.4.256 becomes 14.4.0. As a bonus, that would stop Linux's long-time lame lag behind Windows and MacOS, who were on 10 for years already and now 11. Surely this is better than breaking userspace. GKH just invites another Linus' rant on the topic.
