Ten-year timeline part 5: Not just SCO

I'm confused.

"It was not yet understood at this point, but, once 2.6.0 came out, 
the "new kernel development model" started to take shape. Never again 
would we go years between major stable releases. "

It's 2008 and the kernel is at 2.6.25.

I'm not being critical of the kernel, mostly just wondering if I missed 
something.
