For full c++-11 support, and experimental c++-14, perhaps a version bump is justified, not sure. To be honest, by the time it got released it seemed a lot easier for other packages than one or two of the gcc minor version increments. Internally to LFS, probably as different as when gcc-4.9 was released. And I don't see any obvious changes in the structure of LFS that merit a version change, like your rewrite of the bootscripts for 7.0. Then again, I don't recall what changed from 2 to 3, or 3 to 4 - perhaps new gcc versions played a part there. I think the change to 5.0 matched the incorporation of the Pure LFS hint with better separation from the host system and an emphasis on testsuites. For 6.0 I no longer remember the details, but I sort of assume it was moving to udev. Now that gcc is going to increment its major version each year, perhaps we could follow suit - or even go with YYMM numbers. Oh, no, sorry, that option has been taken. But I know many people like frequently increasing release numbers, and it isn't my call 8-) ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
