Thanks for the effort but not convincing: Factory never had a release version, just release branches. Tumbleweed was initially based on 12.x and then 13.x before turning into a full rolling distribution. It was never officially named "Tumbleweed 13.1". Date-based release numbers make sense for Tumbleweed, 42.1 does not.
Absolutely.
Project, so I think the decision as to the version number of the next Regular Release should be left to those people who work on the creation of the next Regular Release. It is unfortunate to categorize people as "those who work on next release" and "those who don't".
Indeed.
I don't think such a decision should be left to a little group, even their work been fundamental. This was decided by a vote years ago, and a minority should not revoke a previous decision made by the majority some years earlier.
Fair enough. However, would you not agree that a major change in the source base of the "regular" openSUSE release should be accompanied by a change in numbering? If we end up with a SLE source based regular release because those that do the release work decide that's the way to go should this not be called something different than 13.3? If the answer to those two questions is yes, then I would say it is fair to say that the starting point of a new version number is arbitrary. Thus, 42 is a good or bad as any number.
