Karan, I take your mail to home ... I'll try to display these ideas. Due the release timeline ... could we predict which will be the last release/update number of each major version ? Maybe a timeline could reflect in a more simple and clear way where people are ... something like: Full Updates: --------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------| 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 Maintainance Updates: --------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7 5.8 5.9 where 5.5 is the last Full Update, and 5.9 the last Maintainance Update. Thanks, al.
