+    A timeline analysis of the kernels used to report daily downloads shows that people generally
+    adopt new major kernel versons at roughly the same time. This change is especially stark between
+    major kernel versions 5 and 6, which seem to have traded place in usage almost over night.
+
+    The first time that major version 5 of the kernel shows up is on {first_kernel5}. From here, it
+    took a long time for the last of the version 4 kernels to disappear, coinciding with the big
+    switch between major version 5 and 6. The last time a major version 4 is seen is on
+    {last_kernel4}, while the last major version 5 kernels still pop up.
+    It would seem, then, that the people still running kernel version 4 used the opportunity of
+    everybody switching to the stable version of 6 to also upgrade their machines.
