"On the other hand, the strongest argument for some people advocating 4.0 seems to have been a wish to see 4.1.15 - because "that was the version of Linux skynet used for the T-800 terminator"." Makes total sense :)

I propose that the kernel version asymptotically approach 4.1.15 until all the features of skynet is supported by the kernel.

  I think it's systemd, one day it becomes self aware.. and wants to run humanity. Much in the same manner as the AI in I, Robot.

  Nah, 4.1 will be a LTS release and embedded systems are notorious for using ancient kernels.

Looking forward to seeing the 6502 as a supported architecture in Linux 4.x!

  For anyone unaware of the aforementioned reference, in the first Terminator movie, the code visible in the terminators HUD was 6502 assembly. Images and more reading: http://www.pagetable.com/?p=64 http://www.pagetable.com/?p=64

  We got to add that for linux 4.1 someone get on that.

  Nah, that's the CPU the Terminator used because it's the only design that can survive time travel. Skynet probably uses something a lot more modern. The Terminator himself runs his consciousness routines on bare metal.

  Is that screenshot taken from the upcoming Terminator: Genisys film?

    No, I think it is from the awful mess that was "Terminator:Salvation" based on the file name (I can't recall the screen from the film, but then again it's a film that it is best to just forget. Go watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor chronicles instead while waiting for T5): mate_2015.02.15.051456.utc-smplayer-2009-terminator-salvation-mp4_16-9.jpg

So with the release of 4.1.15, that will truly be the year of Linux, hitching a ride with the much bigger year of the terminator. It might also be close to the end of humanity, but at least it finally terminated Windows.
