I really hope there's also a voice that tells you to wait until .42 before cutting 3.0.0! :-)
So I'm toying with 3.0 (and in that case, it really would be "3.0", not "3.0.0" - the stable team would get the third digit rather than the fourth one.
But no, it wouldn't be for 42. Despite THHGTTG, I think "40" is a fairly nice round number.
Also, in all fairness, we should probably display a certain amount of humility: while Linux has certainly reached milestones such as world domination (as far as large and small computers are concerned), so calling it 3.0 is a fair deal, we probably have to wait for version 42.0 before we can consider the Linux kernel to be the ultimate answer to life, universe and everything.
Thanks,
