Okay, that does it. What THE HELL does jumping directly from 8.0 to 9.0 have to with either Microsoft or IBM? Version numbering of Microsoft apps have nothing to do with binary compatibility (or anything else, for that matter) and IBM version numbers tend to reflect feature additions more than anything else. Please explain this. I'm really scratching my head on this one. While I'm as surprised as everybody on the list, I realize it's courageous of Red Hat to clearly reflect that the coming distribution isn't binary compatible with the previous one and that this is going to cause them a lot of animosity. Try to imagine what people whould have felt if they had labelled it 8.1 without keeping the compatibility.
