A side note/gripe here: Traditionally (at least the way I have learned
it) you only increment the major version when making a major change to
the application - e.g. changing the structure of files saved by the
application or perhaps a major overhaul of how things work internally.
With that in mind, how, pray tell, could Firefox possibly be at 88.0?
Mozilla, do you mean to tell me you made sweeping, application-wide
changes eighty eight times? I think not lol :)
It's called version inflation.
Seamonkey rebased off 1.9.1 Gecko for 2.0 ... and did normal version
incrementing while Firefox started going up ridiculously. 2.10 was based
on Firefox 13, and the current version is 2.53.7.1, which is much more
reasonable. Edge, OTOH, is up into the 90s already!

Gah, ok you got me there. I hadn't thought of the kernel at all. Off the
top of my head, though, I'm not certain; is 2042 a version number in and
of itself or just a revision/build number?
I think it's a build number - there's a separate version number but I
don't think it's been updated in a while?
-uso.
