Though I like it in many respects, from a practical point of view it does make it very difficult to keep track of which version comes where in release order... with other software that uses this scheme (Debian-based distros, for example) it's really just a pain in the neck for anyone who isn't a dedicated full-time user or developer, IMHO. Not to mention that the names of some (many) intrepid aviators will have rather different connotations depending on which part of the world you happen to come from. 0.9.11 is unarguably simply a series of numbers (NOT a date), but these names will nearly all have genuine politics attached in addition to their aviation significance. Not something I'm personally particularly sensitive to, but if we're being overly touchy in the first place, there's nothing like jumping from the frying pan into the fire ;-) Cheers, AJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
