Re: address@hidden: Re: Possible help with stable Emacs releases.]

[Robert J. Chassell]

       - use MAJOR.MINOR where MINOR is only incremented for bugfix
         releases and MAJOR is incremented for non-bugfix releases.
         I.e. the next release would then be 22.1 and unicode would be
         23.1.

   That would be a good scheme, I think.

The goal is to provide a decent program.  One whose version numbers
confuse people, so they think a major upgrade is a minor bug fix, is
no good.  Historically, Emacs has signified major changes with
integral number changes: version 19 was the biggest of those changes
(from a user's point of view).  

Why not make more use of the three component numbering scheme we
already have and use in CVS?
