I began to recently wonder if 2.5 should really be called 3.0. When we originally had the discussion, I advocated going to 2.5 to show maturity but also because the current versioning was far away (probably 2.1 was out then). I also probably didn't realize if any of the changes would be major.
Well, I change my mind based on what I saw with the Maven 3.0 release. Maven 3 had the theme of "Maven 2 done right", which was all about fixing the inconsistencies in the software for a better user and development experience. I advocate that approach now. It would be a bit surprising to jump from 2.3 and 2.5 and find massive incompatibilities. I'd rather us take a "Struts 2 done right" approach for 3.0, do all the cleanup we need, and produce a new polished major version. Thoughts?
