I think it might be a good idea to consider naming the final version of
Mozilla version 5.0 instead of 1.0. Yes, I know that Netscape 4.0 (which
call itself "Mozilla/4.0") and below is only nicknamed Mozilla, and that
"the real" Mozilla will be the first release to actually be named
Mozilla, and of course that logically calls for the name Mozilla 1.0,
but won't it be pretty confusing to have a User-Agent string in Mozilla
1.0 that reads "Mozilla/5.0 (rv:1.0)"? Did you consider what you are
going to do when Mozilla reaches version 2.0? Will the User-Agent string
stay as "Mozilla/5.0" forever with only the "rv:" part changing? In my
opinion, naming the first final version Mozilla 5.0 will solve tons of
problems and complications, and I can't really see any good reasons not
to. Am I the only one who thinks this is a good idea? Or have someone
else been thinking the same? Or did I maybe overlook something really
obvious?
