Talk of Linux 7.3 raises questions on kernel numbering

Original: Linux 7.3

A headline simply reading 'Linux 7.3' is circulating on a developer news aggregator, linking to an LWN article about the version. The current Linux kernel series is in the 6.x range, so any reference to 7.3 prompts debate over whether the kernel is jumping version numbers or the label is a mistake or joke.

Why now: The version number contradicts the well-known current 6.x kernel series, sparking curiosity and debate.
