Ask some user how old 2.6.21 is?
Most Linux user will have a hard time answering that.

It was released on 26 April 2007. The release dates are listed alongside the actual releases at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/. But, I agree; not everyone would know to use that as a date versioning tool.
