According to a recent Google+ post, Linus Torvalds has teased us with the release of Linux kernel 5.0, which should happen when the project reaches 6 million Git objects.
It appears that major kernel milestones, such as Linux 3.0 or Linux 4.0, were released when the Git object count was around the two and four million marks, respectively. As of October 8, 2016, the current Gib object count crossed the 5 million mark, which means that after one more million Git objects, the Linux 5.0 kernel should be released.
“Today we’re half-way between Linux 4.0 and 5.0,” says Linus Torvalds. “Put another way: v3.0 was released when the kernel git object database grew to two million objects, and v4.0 was released when we crossed over the 4M mark. So naturally, if you’re into numerology, that unequivocally proves v5.0 will be when we reach 6M objects.”
