Since when does \pi converge to 4.0?
The attention span of most people is usually limited, so they won't
follow very long. Besides that people have a problem with very long
numbers. So an end is needed.
But extending that scheme to the stable series might be interesting too,
producing stable kernels
3.14.1
3.14.15
...
and
3.141.5
3.141.59
...
That would lead to an interesting looking kernel.org page before
switching to 4.0. And I assume it would make many people very happy when
the kernel finally switches to 4.0.
