Peter,
Eventually we'll do the Sun switcheroo and follow release 7.12 by 13.0.
Even better, we can have two different, parallel version numbers, so that the
next version can be 7.5 *and* 13.0.

I think that the set of new features here will fairly likely warrant

Huh? That is exactly counter to most people's expectations about
version numbering. N.0 is the unstable release, N.1 is the one

it to be less buggy than 7.4, and I'm not sure we can promise
Folks,
Well, we're past feature freeze and with one reservation we know what's in the
next version. After talking to several people at OSCON, I want to revive a
discussion: whether this is 7.5 or 8.0. We tabled that discussion in April
pending a feature list.

Oh yes, we have very clear criteria: For patch releases, we increase the
third number, for feature releases we increase the second number and
set the third number to zero. Clear enough?
So, as far as you're concerned, there will never ever be an 8.0.

AFAIR, we had informally been referring to that
I am fine with either numbering, but I think the 8.0 might make more
sense.

This is more features worth mentioning than we've ever had in a single release

implemented/improved at the same time (Slony, PL/Java, etc.) it's even more
momentous. If this isn't 8.0, then what will be?
