The version numbers are not really meaningless, because anything higher than .20 is life-threatening to Torvalds. But technically and functionally, it doesn’t matter.
I think he just doesn’t want to wind up stuck again like with 2.6, which was the mainline kernel version from 2003 through 2011, finally ditching their classic semantic versioning and bumping to 3.0 from 2.6.39 in July 2011

What does he do when he gets to 19.19?
Switch to …
1.1.1
I hope he is still around at that time.
