Those are fundamental changes. Right. I think the release that includes these should be called 22. Anything before that, such as the one currently planned, should stay in 21. David Kastrup is right when he says: ... in order to avoid version overkill, I think that we would stay at 21.x as long as we have "merely" extensive, but not fundamental changes. -- Robert J.
