Given past experience with the x.0 releases of Mandrake/Mandriva perhaps we
should start counting releases with x.1 ?
How about we give up the x.0 and x.1 release naming?
It's just helping to give misconceptions about the releases, for example
that x.1 releases are more polished than y.0, which was never intended.
We could go with a Fedora like naming, incremental numbering.
Mageia 1, Mageia 2, Mageia 3, ...
My feeling is that the year based numbering is most clearest and actually
was a good change from Mandriva some years ago.
For releases cycles, I have also been pretty happy. I have some computers
(laptops and servers where I often skip every second release if things
like suspend/resume are working at the moment). But I have couple of
computers where I on the other hand want always test the latest stuff, and
for those the 6 month cycle is good.
Given the amount of time that is needed for polishing things, maybe the
8-9 month cycle like in suse would indeed be a good compromise?
