But that is different to the original time-based release suggestion
which had continually incrementing version numbers NB10, NB11, NB12 -
in which case the 11.0 to 11.1 you're talking about would have been 11
and 12, and a patch would have been 11.1.  And that's how the the zero
in NB10 was dropped AFAIK - there was a reason! Personally I preferred
that, but don't mind either way.  But it really feels unclear to me
where the criteria for increasing either number now sits.  There seems
to now be a shift to major / minor quarterly releases on the roadmap?
In which case it would have to be 11.0 and 11.1, and presented as
such.  But it still feels very unclear to me what the difference
between going from 11.0 to 11.1 and then 11.1 to 12.0 is meant to be?!
 A discussion and vote on that seems more useful.  This whole
presentation argument seems to come out of very different ideas of how
the release schedule is/should work because that was never really
settled, and if we can't explain it to each other it's even harder
when someone outside asks! :-)

Best wishes,

Neil
