What´s with Firefox 4.0? What´s with Thunderbird 5.0?
Mozilla has adopted a completely different versioning scheme for their products. Mozilla no longer releases minor versions.
And Linux 3.0 was also a dot-0 release
No, it was not. It was a rebranded 2.6.x release for the simple reason Linus Torvalds liked that number better. It had none of the characteristics of a traditional major software release: It didn't break compatibility, it didn't feature a major rewrite of core parts, etc.
and *was* for end users. The Linux community (just like most other FOSS communities) does no releases targeted at end users. Distributors do that.
Stop such _moronic_ arguments.
You are citing exceptions as the norm. From Apache httpd 2.0.0, to GNOME 2.0, to Linux 2.6.0, to Mac OS X 10.0.0, to Windows 6.0 (Vista) the IT world is filled with not fully matured software releases as x.0. In the latter two examples those were even sold to customers. (BTW: People who cant even use the "Repy to list" feature, should not call other people's arguments as moronic.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
