@futurebird

Drives me up a wall. I'll be comparing version numbers, and think "Wait, what??". Sand gets thrown in the gears, and everything stops.

@futurebird as someone in tech... yes, absolutely. It's a PITA to sort those version strings.

Weird that IP addresses don't seem to trigger the same reaction from me.

@futurebird we can’t think here, it’s version math

@arrjay @futurebird three years elapsed between Kerbal Space Program 0.9 and KSP 0.90

@futurebird I agree, it's madness. If people have to do that, zeros are free to go like this instead:
1.10 > 1.09

@d1

But then you need to think ahead when you go from 1.0 to 1.09... you have to admit you will do ten or more versions before you feel OK saying 2.0

Often that isn't so easy to admit.

@futurebird @d1 I’m more worried about what happens when you get past 1.99 and don’t feel ready to call it 2.0.

@fivetonsflax @futurebird you don't get 100 sub-versions before rolling over to 2.0. Take the Linux kernel, for example. It only goes up to 20 sub-versions before "rolling over". Like after 6.19 it "rolled over" to 7.0. There's never any danger reached at a 6.99
