Linus Torvalds Confirms the Next Kernel Is Linux 7.0 (phoronix.com)

''I'm getting to the point where I'm being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to be called 7.0.'' -- Linus Torvalds

Makes sense, Linus Torvalds hates the number 20. I am kidding, but most new versions have been at about this point.
