Gentlemen & Gentlewomen... It's easy to assume a passive role, sit, watch and criticize... All LibreOffice contributors have been doing more than an extraordinary job. Lets not cloud our minds with trivial issues. Let's continue moving forward. All the best to all... -- Jorge E. Restrepo On Tu

I respectfully disagree with Italo. First, about the "frame of reference". In my opinion, decisions such as major version number bumping are not, first and foremost, marketing decisions. That is a _consideration_, since the version number is declarative than technical. But - such an action sho
