There, I said it. For completeness, here's the motivation: In retrospect 24.3 should have been named 25.1 and 24.4 should have been named 26.1. The ".N" thingy should really be kept only for bug-fix releases and neither of 24.3, 24.4, nor the previously planned 24.5 are bug-fix releases. You should write all this in admin/notes/versioning, or somesuch. That way, the need (or rather, people's desire) for this... I'll stop listening to this thread starting right about now, but don't let that stop you wasting your time debating at length about this boring subject, ...can be much reduced. A repo'd document also has the advantage of providing an evolvable base for attaching labels (such as "stable", "bugfix", etc), the most likely-to-succeed way out of the next rat's nest (i.e., preferred/"official" Emacs-under-Git branch discipline/manglement/workflow) discussion. Just watch! I say "you should" as a shorthand for "we should, and i (in my own crass and clumsy way) will do so RSN if someone who has more impact doesn't beat me to it".
