[12-16-10 12:10]: So, that means we stick with the 11.X series for a long time? Or we should redefine what the rules should be :)
However, we do have things in 11.4 that seem much "larger" than normal: - systemd, a major way the boot process works, speeding things up massively - all wireless devices supported by open drivers - major 3d open driver advancements - large KDE advancements from previous releases - Tumbleweed providing "rolling" updates - possible MeeGo(tm) "spin" for netbooks
So, given that, I'd say this is as good a time as any to advance the major number. Otherwise, what specifically is it going to take to move the major number that could possibly happen in the next few years.
Not. I agree that 11.4 has been presented and *should* continue.
Major numbers should reflect and follow major kernel changes,
How do you define "major kernel changes"? The kernel has not changed it's second digit in 7+ years now, and (despite me constantly trying to get Linus to change his mind), probably will not in the next 3+ years either.
then there is a standard and no debate about the version numbers and if required 11.9 should be followed by 11.a or 11.10.
Heh, yeah right, like 'a' would ever work in the long run, good luck :) greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
