And more over, there is nothing earth-shatteringly new in the 3.0 kernel. Linus said during the last kernel summit he wanted to change the versioning scheme to make it easier for various developers in different realms to track version changes. Don't expect anything super-cool for us on the sysadmin/user side as a direct result of the 3.x kernel. Of course, incremental changes are usually welcome for stability and device driver support.
