I just saw something that reminded me to check, and come July 17th,
SLackware turns 20.
I thought I was late, but I've been using it since early June of 2001, so
I just missed the first eight years (though yes, those 8 years were more
significant than the past 12).
I'd like to think this will factor into the next release, but with just
over 2 months to go, I'm not so sure. Right now the activity on the
changelog does suggest a new release coming, but last year there was along
sequence from the point of "this will be Slackware 14" and the actual
release at the end of September. Even Patrick asking about what versions
to include seemed a shift from the past.

No need. We can just call the next release version 0x14 :^)
