Forgive me if this has been discussed before. I searched the archives of debian-user, debian-devel, and debian-release, and saw nothing about htis.
It appears that Sarge will be called 3.1. Why is that? I personally think it should be 4.0, as do many others I have spoken with.. 1) Kernel v2.2 is no longer available on install, much less the default. 2) The installer was totally rewritten. 3) [the big one] gcc-3's C++ ABI is totally incompatible with gcc-2.95's. This alone should force a major number upgrade. What if I have my critical custom C++ applications running on woody, and I see "Oh, 3.0 to 3.1.. I'll dist-upgrade, its no big deal" .. blammo, everything breaks! Am I crazy? Is it too late to bring this up? Wrong forum? Sorry if I seem a little lost.. but I am. I'm surprised nobody has brought this up recently.. which is why I suspect I've missed something here.
