2.0.0 was out on june 9th, 2.1.0 was out on sep 30th (all 1996), that makes almost 4 months. In those 4 months came 22 releases in the 2.0 series, in the 2.2 series we haven't seen more than 6 releases, so 2.2 seems to stabilize faster, and so we might see 2.3.0 soon.

Even if every elementary particle in the known universe used Linux, there wouldn't be that many Linux users.
