Dare I try to turn this thinking around on it's head...
Chrome, Firefox and other people have rightly realized that a version
number is indeed a meaningless marketing tool.
I don't agree much for the Tapestry market, which is developers, which
know that Opera 11.60 isn't a better browser than Firefox 8 just because
of the version number (Opera lover talking here.:))
Version of the code is a SCM revision, thats all
Perhaps it's not a bad thing and tapestry should get on board.
Microsoft broke a lot of promises, so did apple and they are still in
business.
That's also a very good reason for not liking them. :D
Steve Jobs biography is a good read especially on how not to listen to
trolls.
The problem here is that people still listen to trolls.
If apple could dump Motorola chips and MacOS 9, tapestry can certainly
move to version 6 peanut gallery be damned!
Again, I don't think Tapestry history allows for that now nor in the next
couple years for marketing and trust reasons. As some people said, if in
the future the need for a non-backward compatible version of Tapestry
arises, it should choose another name.
