Hey guys, calm down, I meant "naming wars" in a silly kind of way, not the nasty kind. The fact is, Linux naming has always sucked. Well, at least the versioning I've used. Others tend to be more organized. Me, I'm the "artistic" type, so I sometimes try to do something new, and invariably stupid. The best suggestion so far has been to _just_ use another number, which makes sense considering my dislike for both -rc and -pre. However, for some reason four numbers just looks visually too obnoxious to me, so as I don't care that much, I'll just use "-rc", and we can all agree that it stands for "Ridiculous Count" rather than "Release Candidate". More importantly, maybe we could all realize that it isn't actually that big of an issue ;) Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
