The danger there is that 3.X would sound so cool (everything is cooler with an X in it) that nobody would want to move past it. So after 3.X we would get 3.X.1, ... and then 3.X.X.1, ... At some point people would start abbreviating those in terms of powers of X, so the general format of a version number would become 3.X**m.n where 0 <= n < X. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
