-0 The community knows the next release is 1.4. There is a lot of mails referring to "1.4" If suddenly we jump to 2.0 no body knows from where it was take.

I don't feel I have enough merit these days in lenya to vote -1, but this is what I would like to vote for this change.

Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo.

Lenya devs,

As previously discussed, please vote whether to use "2.0" as the
version number of the next release of the Lenya trunk rather than the
previously-planned "1.4".

The reason for this proposed change is to more accurately signify the
scope and depth of the changes to the Lenya architecture and feature
set.  Please see the previous e-mail thread for the prior discussion.

Voting is open for a period of one week, per Lenya guidelines.

The reasons and advantages to renaming are:
- The functionality is very different.
- The upgrade path from 1.2 is difficult.
- Different knowledge/skills are needed.
- Marketing press releases like major number releases.
.
The disadvantage is the community knows the next release as 1.4.  Many
people are using various development versions.  Changing the name will
cause confusion.  Directories are often named with the version number
so this increases the work of "upgrading'" to the production release.
"2.0" sounds less stable than "1.4.0". The old skills still apply, but
this may discourage less innovative developers.

Changing the version number may attract a new audience, but may damage
the current community.  I am not certain the change will accomplish
enough to offset the effort.
