Torvalds pointed out that the numbers he applies to new kernel releases are essentially meaningless.

“We haven't done releases based on features (or on "stable vs unstable") for a long, long time now. So that new major number does not mean that we have some big new exciting feature, or that we're somehow leaving old interfaces behind. It's the usual "solid progress" marker, nothing more.”

I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment… because they’ll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. After all, Number One, we’re only mortal.”
