Hi all, I am also open to discuss the Jenkins 3.x release, as well as any changes in the versioning policy which would be helpful to Jenkins adopters. I am not a big fan of semver due to the same reasons as Daniel noted, but it is definitely one of the options on the table. My only ask here is to not hurry with the decisions. We will have a newly elected Release Officer on Dec 03, and I would wait until this happens before we do final decisions.
The next LTS cycle definitely looks to be a good opportunity for a 3.0 release from the technical standpoint. There is a lot of breaking changes that justify it. It would be great to deliver even more changes, but I doubt we will be able to have coordinated effort for that before the next LTS cycle (holidays and so on). So we can ship what we have. On a separate note, Jenkins X 3.0 is also tentatively scheduled to early next year. It may lead to some confusion if Jenkins and Jenkins X releases happen within a short timeframe.
