Honestly, it is just a naming. People can get used to it or stay confused. Those who care get used to it. It is probably more important to deliver on the promise of LTS - e.g. provide the fixes (at least for a while). That's going to build more trust than coming up with a fancy versioning scheme. > FlatLaf was a good move! And fairly small. Batik I'm less sure about > - is any of it API?

It has become part of the NetBeans platform and shall be supported (until EOL). OracleLabs has already changed the build of IGV to rely on the platform's provided Batik libraries. Btw. What's the status of HiDPI support? Have we upgraded icons to look nice on large displays? Or do we "just" have the infrastructure and icons are still as bad as they used to be? If the latter, then no surprise Batik is seen as an overhead. -jt
