welcome to Metacity v

Upon deeper analysis, you are correct. I was a bit floored by what appeared to be a power curve near the beginning, but after actually plotting, it's a simple linear trend:

Data

        Date        Version
    2000-03-05  1.22
    2000-03-24  1.23
    ...
    2025-02-18  9.9
    2025-04-09  10.0


  

Fit

Predict

Use Y = (mX) + C, or Version = (9.55651e-09 * Date) -6.75132

For OpenSSH version 43.2, the predicted date is:

2135-08-21

So, assuming a linear trend and no cataclysmic events that would pause development for a few thousand years, then it's only 110 years into the future
