If SUSE would have waited an extra month, the people could have gone from 9.2 to 10.2.
I think you have a point.
I hope people will listen to it. :-)
About the version numbering, it has already been stated that the numbering has no real purpose, exept for marketing, so let's leave it at that. I asume that when SLES and SLED come out, openSUSE will become openSUSE 11. (Yeah, it goes to eleven)
Year number version could be nice and informative; for instance, some new chap buying it on a shop would know if he was getting the latest or not.
No, he would not, unless he would know when the last one was made. openSUSE 2009.2 Is that an old one or a new one if you buy it in september?
But it is just a number, after all. I don't see the need to change, it is good enough as it is now, so I don't vote for changing that. It would introduce confusion.
But I would like to see 10.3, .4, .5... etc. No need to change to 11.x till a really big thing changes, like kernel 2.8.
That is if version numbering would be dependent on something. It isn't. It is just a marketing tool. houghi -- To have a nice mailinglist experience, follow the guidelines below:
