True. I exaggerated a bit there; sorry. > It is pretty clearly visible, and it is relevant information at the > time you are downloading. If anything, moving it off into a separate > page /is/ burying it IMHO, as now its not visible at time of download Your argument is valid, and at first I actually did think the way describe. Then I remembered how I recently was trying to look up the versioning details of QEMU and not finding it. Not sure what terms I used at that time. Right now, typing "qemu version numbering" (*without* quotes) does show the "Download QEMU" page as third result. And the first result points to this page: https://www.qemu.org/2018/08/15/qemu-3-0-0/ Which does have: A note from the maintainer: Why 3.0? Well, we felt that our version numbers were getting a bit unwieldy, and since this year is QEMU’s 15th birthday it seemed like a good excuse to roll over the major digit. Going forward we plan to increment the major version once a year, for the first release of the year. Don’t read too much into it: it doesn’t imply a drastic compatibility break. So, I tend to agree with what you said, so feel free to disregard this change, then. :-) [...] -- /kashyap
