Linux 7.3: what the next kernel version number means

Original: Linux 7.3

Discussion is under way about the Linux kernel moving to version 7.3, as reported by LWN. The number suggests the kernel's major version has rolled over past 6.x, a milestone that happens when Linus Torvalds runs out of minor numbers in a series. Readers are weighing in on the versioning scheme and what the new series will bring.

Why now: The Linux kernel's jump to a new major version numbering series is a notable milestone that developers are debating.
