Default Re: Open source versioning conventions

In open source you will see a range of treatments of the issue of marketing. A rather technical project may not care much about version numbers and keep calling themselves 0.67 or something like that for ages even though the functionality is rock solid. On the other extreme, distros and programing languages have jumped version numbers to make themselves look good, e.g. Java 1.5 got renamed to Java 5 and so on and I seem to remember that Turbolinux made a similar renumbering.
