Parent article: 2.8.0?

Hmm, that LWN article just states that kernel devs were against changing from 2.6 to something else. The way I read it it doesn't say that date based was less popular than anything else (besides staying with the current scheme)

The article glosses over the boring details.

The way I remember it, there where 3 options:
A - no change
B - next version 3.0
C - change to date format.

Vote went:
A - 42
B - 33
C - let's not bother, no-one wants that.
