I was thinking ftp servers still said 2.16.x, 2.17.x, etc., it's just that all public correspondence about it and even mailing list messages and such would all it "16", "17" and so on. Thus, there is no real change. "Gnome 16" -> stable. "Gnome 17" -> unstable. > It also begs the question... "What happens when we do bump the major > number?" Start the next series at 3.20? That's not totally crazy. Yes, if 2.18.y is the last 2.x.y series then 3.20.y would follow it. Thus "Gnome 20" naturally follows "Gnome 18" and those worried about API/ABI promises can check the ftp server numbers (for modules in the platform or bindings anyway; for modules in the desktop, they have no promise). > Though I made a joke about it in 2004, I don't think it's a terrible idea. > But it should be well thought out before we do it. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
