Hi, Not sure if that was meant to be off-list? Anyway, answering inline with some context ...

There was some detailed talk! ;-) Not sure that included decisions?! I've been a bit out of the loop on this release cycle because of a busy work schedule. The discussions I remember covered (at least) 9.0 -> 9.1 -> 9.2; 9 -> 10 -> 11; and 18.11 -> 19.02 -> 19.05. Given that this had ended up as NB10 I assumed that a decision on incremental versions had happened, but couldn't find any link to that in a quick search of the mailing archive. > Are we sure to stuck with the incremental major version scheme?

I assume so too, unless a bug appears in something that cannot be fixed that way. In which case the ability to do a patch release might be required, and I assumed we'd use 10.1, etc. for that. Having said that, I'm currently using Firefox 62.0.3 - not sure what criteria they're using for the release numbers other than major, presumably minimal feature improvements vs patches - eg. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/ That page in itself may be an argument in favour of your point that it could be confusing! :-) > Unless we > would go with a kind of LTS model... That would be interesting to me, particularly thinking from an RCP context.
