I see two potential problems: 1. The release after 2.0 will be called 2.1, while technically it's supposed to be a point-release and not a major one. However, I suspect that it may contain enough changes (mostly bugfixes) and important changes that were held back while we're stabilizing Tails/Jesie, to be worth calling it a major one, so that's not a blocker IMO. 2. People who have understood the new version numbering, trust it to the letter, *and* ignore the major number bump, will be confused. I don't think there are many such people, and I don't think it's a blocker either. > Maybe we should consider using "even = minor" and "odd = > major" instead. Please, no: odd for less stable releases is a widely used convention in free software, and using a different one is bound to confuse quite a few existing and potential contributors (starting with me). => IMO the drawbacks of calling 2.0 this way don't warrant a versioning scheme change. But if we think that they're serious enough, we could call it 2.1 and be done with it.
