I've read after sending last email the rationale but I am still not sure "continuous specs integration" should be related with the year.
I particularly don't like the idea that things could be dropped or rushed last minute just because the new years eve is coming ... this feel like those stories with tight deadlines where management could easily fail due over-expectations on all possible 3rd parts alignment ( you know, like those 12 different JS engines out there .... + spartans ) I do like the idea of having more frequent rolling releases, but yet I don't know why year-naming would be the choice. Anyway, please consider keeping ES6 exactly ES6, we will have time to align the ESX where X = previous ESX +2009 concept. to Doctor Alex, at this point I think you should really stick with ES6 or avoid the ES at all and use JS 2015 Your book though, won't be so interesting in few months, users also pay a lot of extra and unnecessary attention to a year in a name ... things will feel outdated before will be even implemented by some vendor. Weird choice, not my cup of tea for sure.
