Dare I try to turn this thinking around on it's head... Chrome, Firefox and other people have rightly realized that a version number is indeed a meaningless marketing tool. Version of the code is a SCM revision, thats all Perhaps it's not a bad thing and tapestry should get on board. Microsoft broke a lot of promises, so did apple and they are still in business. Steve Jobs biography is a good read especially on how not to listen to trolls. If apple could dump Motorola chips and MacOS 9, tapestry can certainly move to version 6 peanut gallery be damned!
