It's a bit unfortunate that no one seemed to notice that the naming of the JIRA project bound us to "3" when we were reviewing the migration from github. I've often thought of that over the past year and whether or not it would be possible to change it to just TINKERPOP. The problem at this point of course is the number of links that point at TINKERPOP3-*. The main question I have at the moment is whether or not Apache Infra could do anything to help mitigate that and what their recommendations would be in that area.
