Its not just Debian. Fedora, Apple and Ubuntu do too. It has the advantage that if you make a bugfix or security release, as with Emacs 21.4, it doesn't throw all of us who have been calling it the next big release.
We do that with minor version numbers. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
