Perhaps we should try to have some sort of agreement with the Adobe folks that would result in reserving the 4.6.x version numbers for any possible updates they may need to do to that branch.
Updates and changes done by Apache that are still based on the 4.x architecture should probably fall under 4.7.x, which would retain also the original "spark.components..." namespace. Then if/when we make major feature additions or architectural changes we can move to Flex 5.x, at which point we can revisit the possibility of moving the namespace over to "org.apache.flex...". Just my initial thoughts. -omar
