Missed opportunity for a Linux version 6.6.6

6.6.0 isn't out yet, but it's pretty likely that there will be a 6.6.6 in the next few months.

Oh good. Linus seems like the kind of dude that wouldn't skip a landmark release.

I know people are obviiusly waiting for 6.9 as well

Honestly though, skipping it because of its cultural/religious connotations opens up a bad can of worms, because it's not the only shunned number, and it varies from culture to culture, and you can't really give preferential treatment to one culture over any other, as a global mainstream project like this.

Linux specifically broke versioning standards so that we could have 3.11 (windows) and 4.20 (weed). It should be fine.
