That's a bit like the naming scheme Emacs had between version 1 and 18, isn't it? The numbering doesn't really matter, but I think it was kinda nice when the major version number was only bumped on really big-ish transitions. (I.e., mule, utf8, static binding...) But, of course, the next Emacs release has eww, and that's a major thing. >"? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
