Agreed. 1/2 could also mean "1 of 2", and .5 name the fifth subversion. Decimal systems are very modern, while time is still counting in a duodecimal manner (12 are a dozen, 60 are a schock: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Schock) The same way, we could call pre-releases "5 [minutes] to Lenny". Of course, I like the creativeness of leaving the limits of integers (Reminding me to Platform 9 3/4 in Harry Potter). After 3.0 and 3.1 - has there ever been a PI-Version of Debian BTW? ;) Just my 2 cent of smalltalk in this thread.
