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.

Personally I like it and find it the simplest - similar to Chrome, Firefox, etc.

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! :-)

That would be interesting to me, particularly thinking from an RCP context.

Best wishes,

Neil
