I think you're more supposed to care that he cares, than to care yourself.

Now if the Linux folks could do something like this

everytime there's a new version out, THAT would be something to care about
;)

I'll have a quick word with Linus; I'm sure he'll be only too happy to
pay for it. I think Arcade Fire as the band and a troupe of dancing
penguins to add geek appeal ;-)

Well, I mean, it's not like it's *different* from the previous kernel or
anything...
Sure, there's probably a few internal differences. But from the outside?
Can you actually tell if a machine is running the old version or the new
version? No. So why the fuss?

What fuss? We're secure enough in the reliability and stability of our
OS not to have to make a song and dance about it. It's only commercial
pressures that require M$ to try and bullsh*t the average user that
external_show=internal_novelty
