[Sugar-devel] RFC: Make Sugar 0.102 = Sugar 1.0[ Sugar-devel Digest, Vol 61, Issue 43]

[Sean DALY]

cc'ing marketing for... a marketing issue

Nope, the GTK3 change just passed under the radar. As stated previously I
lobbied for a v1 six years ago which is why we are ready for a v2. Or even
a v3.

For building a PR story I can work with v2 or v3, just not v1.

The issue with 2.2, 2.4 is that from a marketing perspective we get boxed
into a major number step timeframe irrespective of marketing needs. A major
number change should ideally happen when it's ready, or when we need to
communicate a major shift. I still think associating the existing numbering
behind a major number (e.g. 2.102) keeps continuity. PR will communicate
the major number, probably with a name. And not an unmarketable obscure
name, either.
