2.6.24-rc8, "A Final Shakedown"
,----[ Quote ]
| "I do hate doing -rc's for so long, but I hate releasing when not feeling
| it's simmered enough even more. And the changes since -rc7 are bigger than
| the changes between -rc6 and -rc7 were (partly probably because people were
| still on vacation between -rc6 and -rc7, so we had something of a small
| trickle come in afterwards)," Linus Torvalds began, explaining why he posted
| another release candidate rather than the official 2.6.24 kernel.

Linux v2.6.24-rc1 "humongous"
,----[ Quote ]
| Linus Torvalds has just released the first release candidate of the upcoming
| 2.6.24 Linux kernel: “This may count as one of the biggest -rc releases ever.
| It’s humongous.Usually the compressed -rc1 diffs are in the 3-5MB range, with
| occasional smaller ones, and the occasional ones that top 6M, but this one is
| eleven megs.”

Linux Will Be Worth $1 Billion In First 100 Days of 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| The kernel development process is adding 2,000 lines of code a day or roughly
| another 160,000 by the end of 2007. By the end of 2008, it will have added
| another 730,000. So the kernel will have close to 6.4 millions lines of code,
| using Wheeler's methodology, at the end of next year. Sometime during the
| first 100 days of 2009, Linux will cross the 6.6 million lines of code mark
| and $1 billion in value.
