Linus Torvalds went on to freeze the blood of the readers of the
linux-kernel list:

Fortunately, he resurrected just minutes later saying:

So, after having reported a mystifying absence of bugs on my system for all
of the pre2.0 series, and declaring myself astounded by the speed and quality
of Linux's evolution, I ask:
Will Linus come up with a sufficiently Cool Name for 2.0 ?
What will the world be like after 2.0 ?
Will 2.1 be as hectic and interesting as 2.0 ?
If anybody wanted to try his hand and help, he could do it better if
forewarned. So, I want to know where will Linux be heading.
I know about IPv6, POSIX.6. I know about XXXX support in the kernel, which
will not happen, will happen in part or will provoke a fission in Linux
development. What else ?
NFSv3 ?
ATM ? (I know W. Almesberger is working on it)
PA-RISC port ?
Linux on SGI boxes ?
VGER running Linux and working perfectly :) ?
RAID levels > 0 ?
Journaling filesystem ?
Portals filesystem ?
Anything else ? Anything already implemented ?
