Are we adding confusion? Do you have any proof to back up that assertion?
I'm pretty sure the masses can handle the fact that 9.1.x is going to
come after 9.0.x, and that 9.0.1 is an bug fix for 9.0.0.
True, we don't always have the best track record for bumping major
releases. (ponders) Hmmm...I'm rethinking my immediate rejection of the
idea now. 7.3 to 7.4 should have been 7.3 to 8.0. Certainly it was more
major than 8.0 to 8.1 was, for example. Consider me a very weak -1
and open to persuasion. :)
