[olug] Happy Post Memorial Day

[George De Bruin]

The most relevant comment comes from Linus himself:

So what are the big changes?

NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Sure, we have the usual two thirds driver
changes, and a lot of random fixes, but the point is that 3.0
is**just** about renumbering, we are very much **not** doing a KDE-4
or a
Gnome-3 here. No breakage, no special scary new features, nothing at
all like that. We've been doing time-based releases for many years
now, this is in no way about features. If you want an excuse for the
renumbering, you really should look at the time-based one ("20 years")
instead.
