I think Pat does, kinda. That was his justification to jump from like 4 to 7 or whatever it was way back then... Ah! (Wiki) In 1999, Slackware's release number jumped from 4 to 7. Patrick Volkerding explained this as a marketing effort to show that Slackware was as up-to-date as other Linux distributions, many of which had release numbers of 6 at the time, and Volkerding expected them to reach version 7 by the time of the jump.
