I remember people saying the same when we jumped to 42.x just over two years ago.
In many ways, they were wrong - I didn't spend as much time as I expected repeating that message. It's been over a year since I had to deal with a question on the topic. One year of having to answer questions about why 15? Sure, I can live with that.
You still do not understand the fundamental difference between skipping from 13 to 42 and skipping from 42 to 15, do you? Skipping _forward_ is just common crazy, people will just roll their eyes and call you names for some time and life will go on; Skipping _back_ is utterly wrong in principle, it beats the one basic property of version numbers that everyone (OK, almost everyone, apparently) expects from them. And it's going to break things. Michal Kubeček -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
