I was just noticing, Kernel 2.0 came out about 1996, and we're dragging
out the latest versions (2.6.11 had HOW MANY subversions?!), so how long
before 3.0, or even just 2.8 comes out?

No, the current version is 2.6.16.1 (March 28, 2006)

When Linus chooses to bump the release number and not before.
