So I'll keep it short to get the discussion started: The next release from trunk will be called 25.1 rather than 24.5 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. 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, Stefan
