No, whilst for some of us find the numbers more meaningful and easier to understand, than version names, the discussion in the other thread, was, from my understanding, redefining the state names, rather than the version names. So, you would still have your weezy woozy wussy wassat, etc so that some of us would be confused by the version name use, rather than simpler to understand, version numbers, and the issue in the other thread, was instead to do with the state names, eg destructive maybe possibly fixable possibly fixable hopefully being fixed being fixed mostly fixed kind of fixed more or less fixed supposedly fixed fixed has been fixed had been fixed has been been been and gone gone long gone gone and forgotten forgotten deleted from memory -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
