Here's my point. Why do we (who are human beings BTW) need to be rational and logical all the way :)) We can just break the tradition and make a change (and fill out the mailing list with "why .9652?" mails) just for the fun of it :)
Enough of the philosophy, here's the real story. During the hackathon at Apachecon, Glen (I think) was mentioning something (probably about versioning) and said this magical number 0.9652 (which I suppose is a totally random sequence of digits which happened to be higher than .93). Sanjiva caught the word and said "ah cool version number. we should do a release with that". And that's why this release has this weird version number :)

+1 for relase
But why Axis2 0.9652? I would prefer 0.94 ..lets keep it logical and
simple. I do not see any need to do something fancy.
The relase number are to give a understanding about the nature of the
relase .. lets keep it that way
Thanks

But why
