I tentatively agree. My strong preference is for Activities to rapidly increase their integer numbers, rather than creating a complex tree of point releases. My feeling is that a tree of three or more levels deep adds complexity to new Learners. It goes against the 'low floor, no ceiling' philosophy by requiring that Learners learn a new counting system, on top of integer increments. It also adds to the pressure to maintain several versions of the software concurrently. While I agree that maintainence releases are important, I would prefer that community etiquette is developed that discourages version numbers that look like "2.4.12". Developers should be strongly encouraged to migrate to a new integer release when practical. Most activities are quite discrete. They tend not to add many features once they have reached a desired level of maturity. Tim.
