To be able to build RC1 from 12.3 project, we forked 12.3 now. So release next in March 2013 is really going to be called 12.3, followed by another release in November 2013 to be called 13.1? What's the point of having a dot in the number in the release name if the number in the name has no apparent connection with the year of release? We had a lengthy discussion about our version numbering right after 11.4 was released if I remember correctly. Please search the archives of the list for

In addition, how do you propose to have the major release number have any meaning regarding the year when the cycle is *two* years. It is only an accident that 12.2 was released in 2012, and that 13.1 will likely be released in 2013. Hi,
those numbers does not (need to) makes any sense*. It's just an increasing sequence of numbers, which is all you need to beeing able to compare which release is more recent. There is no major, neither minor version at all - consider the sysvinit drop will happen in 12.3. If the major.minor scheme will exists, then it will enforce us to 13.0.
This is mostly the same as kernel is released, just the alghorithm is different. First version number is increased when Linus considers the second one too big.
* it actually does, alghorithm can be found @wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE#Version_history
BTW: can I propose "it's just a number" as a codename of next openSUSE release? ;-)
Nope. This will be the Chinese year of the Snake so the next release should be called Anaconda. Period. No discussion, no arguments.
