Not to argue one way or the other about the split, but saying
"OpenNSD/AOLserver 4.0" -- that is, using a number that *could* mean
something in the AS releases, and moreover preceding it with
an "AOLserver" -- is not terribly clear ;).
I'd really like to ask the OpenNSD people in general to make this as clear
as possible, because the split is going to confuse a lot of people. By
failing to indicate the distinction between OpenNSD and AOLserver version
numbers on both the release Web page and in the e-mail, you've managed to
confuse me, at least.
I suppose I should pop on over the OpenNSD bboards to ask this, but I have
a violently allergic reaction to those Web bboards now, and it doesn't seem
inappropriate for the AOLserver list -- why did you decide to increment the
major version number? My understanding, perhaps flawed, was that AOLserver
is not moving to 4.0 for a while yet, and this could cause a split in what
major version numbers mean. Since bug fixes usually don't cause a major
version number increment, I suspect that the "first" version of OpenNSD
is going to be 4, which has an even greater potential for confusion.
I should say that I follow the AOLserver list only. Perhaps I'm alone
in my confusion, but I feel a looming sense of dread that I've already
been confused by the first "public" announcement of the NSD folks...
