Wrong question: "Why are users too dumb to realize that version foo+1 is not the next version of foo!?"

You mean Perl 6 should be called Perm?

Actually, I'm not positive how to parse what you said above. You think the Fedora 16 developers are dumb for not calling it "Windows 9"?

No, he said the opposite: Fedora developers would be dumb to call it Windows 9 unless it is intended to be the successor to Windows 8.
