Rolling over to a higher Major version on the heels of LTS kernels somewhere around the fingers-and-toes mark does indeed sound like a pretty good plan. It's been around four years since the last major bump; at this rate, we'd be at linux 10.0.0 around 2043, and 20.0.0 by 2083. That's a pretty reasonable progression rate that could outlast Linus's Head In A Jar, if Futurama's anything to go by.

But then Linus won't have any fingers *or* toes to count on and we'll start using just a major version number ;) .
