I have no real opinion on the rest of it, but it shouldn't be 3.0.0: to many people that would suggest changes that break compatibility, which really isn't the case, certainly nothing like the change from GRUB 1 to GRUB 2. (Yes, it doesn't have to be this way, and e.g. the Linux kernel is big enough that it can get away with defining its own conventions, but I don't think it would be a good choice for us.) -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
