I think that the current version numbering system is confusing, incremental version increases from 1.15 to 1.16 to 1.17 to 1.18, etc suggest to most people minor changes with no compatibility implications. This is not the case with MW. The Chrome version numbering is the other extreme, releasing every 6 weeks a major version increment. In the end I think that a version system should give an idea how much has changed under the hood. just my 2 cents. Diederik
