It looks like we are doing something like: Major.Minor.Release 1.18 = Major: 1, Minor: 18, (alpha|beta|etc.) I'm just curious what people think would constitue a major version. We've certainly had major rewrites of systems in the past that didn't seem to justify a version bump. Is there anything wrong with having version 1.249? Is there a practical reason for bumping the version at some point (like when the minor version hits tripple digits)?
Drop the first digit, as Java and Emacs did.
The current release is MediaWiki 18. MediaWiki 19 is in progress.
