The only reason we don't have a new versioning scheme, is that you refuse to let go of the old one. Guess what? The old one doesn't work well anymore due to the sheer size of the php4 code-base. The 4.1.2 release was done with speed and agility, due to the simple fact that the 4.1 branch was a known quantity. To me that demonstrated that Jani's new versioning scheme was successful. The new versioning scheme is a good idea at the right time. You should give better arguments than "the old scheme has (always worked|worked before)". - Stig
