I'm only half joking when I say that it is probably partly because
10 is a nice round number. Basically the same sort of effect that
caused people to go nuts on the 1999->2000 transition but to not
really care much at all when the new millenium actually started
at the 2000->2001 transition. Or the effect in pricing where
something that is priced $0.99 actually sells significantly better
than something that is priced $1.00.
Irongically, it will probably cause some minor issues when the
"uname -r" output gives 5.10 instead of 5.9, because we all
know that the number 5.10 is less than the number 5.9. And the
string "5.10" comes before the string "5.9" lexicographically
(and after the string "5.1").
