3.14 = pi which is always a special number. Who knows.
Besides Linux powers almost everything on the internet, (almost) all of the world's smartphones and tablets, routers, NASes, millions and millions of embedded devices, not to mention desktops, Chromebooks, clouds and developer machines.
If you raise your focus up past your hipster Macbook and decaffed latte, even a small Linux release is a pretty big thing.

- microtherion 13y ago> (almost) all of the world's smartphones and tablets Almost none of which will ever run this particular Linux kernel release. Given the regularity of the kernel release schedule, it seems to me that a release would have to include something particularly interesting (not just support for yet another processor and yet another file system) in order to qualify as newsworthy on a general interest news site like this one.
