From c517d838eb7d07bbe9507871fab3931deccff539 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2015 18:21:14 -0800 Subject: Linux 4.0-rc1 .. after extensive statistical analysis of my G+ polling, I've come to the inescapable conclusion that internet polls are bad. Big surprise. But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38% margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in. Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who can't even follow the most basic directions? In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%, but with a total of 29,110 votes right now. Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so it could be considered noise. But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes. --- Makefile | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 19e256ae267..9fab639727c 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ -VERSION = 3 -PATCHLEVEL = 19 +VERSION = 4 +PATCHLEVEL = 0 SUBLEVEL = 0 -EXTRAVERSION = -NAME = Diseased Newt +EXTRAVERSION = -rc1 +NAME = Hurr durr I'ma sheep # *DOCUMENTATION* # To see a list of typical targets execute "make help" -- cgit v1.2.1-2-g3f67
