For those confused about the codename, it's explained in this post by Linus: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.g...

If, on the Internet, there is a forum with two posts, one titled "WARNING: READ THIS IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, PROPERTY, AND THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF YOUR SPECIES. ALSO, IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION." and the other titled "Test post, please ignore", the first would have a few views, and maybe a couple posts.

The second would be a veritable Times Square.

Torvalds got precisely what was coming to him.

The next version will be code named "Warning: Do Not Click".
