As someone else commented, a release number is just that, a number created by marketing. Often they choose numbers based on the reasoning you state above, other times contracts determine it, but there is no convention. As long as a release number encourages you to upgrade, the marketing drones have done their job, regardless of how unfathomable their choice is to those of us with basic math skills. :-) Tom -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
