As I stated in a response to Peter, I just have an aversion to marketing-driven version bumps. Is there amicable solution that doesn't require such a re-branding?
Hmmm, it is a normal assumption that a change in the generation number of a product indicates back-incompatibility. This is not marketing, this is just version management and is consistent thru out the foundation.
What we are asking is to indicate clearly that a back incompatible transition is happening.
Avalon Framework has always been a product of avalon and thousands of users depend (indirectly) on it.
We just ask for help in making them find what they depend on and documentation that doesn't talk about the history of the whole thing, but just tells them what they need.
I fail to see why some here believe this is such an unreasonable request.
