Hi, There is a long-running thread on pgsql-hackers on whether 9.6 should instead be called 10.0. Initially, opinions were mixed, but consensus seems now to have emerged that 10.0 is a good choice, with the major hesitation being that we've already released 9.6beta1, and therefore we might not want to change at this point. That doesn't seem like an insuperable barrier to me, but I think it's now time for the discussion on this topic to move here, because:
1. Some people who have strong opinions may not have followed the discussion on pgsql-advocacy, and 2. If we're going to rebrand this as 10.0, the work will have to get done here. The major arguments advanced in favor of 10.0 are: - There are a lot of exciting features in this release. - Even if you aren't super-excited by the features in this release, PostgreSQL 9.6/10.0 is a world away from 10.0, and therefore it makes sense to bump the version based on the amount of accumulated change between then and now. Thoughts? Is it crazy to go from 9.6beta1 to 10.0beta2? What would actually be involved in making the change? -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
