</span>If we are truly committed to doing time-based releases, we can switch<br>
to time-based version numbers, Year.Month, for example, if we were to<br>
release in June it would be 16.06. We can use an extra digit for<br>
minor releases.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This would mirror other projects doing the same, so there is precedent. Although radically different from the current model, I think it has some merit. When people report bugs with 3.1, its actually hard to estimate how it is (roughly estimating it via ~6mo release cycle does really work). This would certainly make it easier.</div><div><br></div><div>Its a good alternative though it does mean that we no longer have the ability to indicate a major shift. However as Chris already pointed out, LLVM is much more stable these days and perhaps worrying about major shifts which are unseen is looking for a problem to solve rather than solving a problem at hand.</div><div><br></div><div>+1 on this suggestion.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
