Somehow, it was the plan[0]. I feel like I wrote about that extensively already way too many times[1].

- maxerickson 9y agoI think one of the biggest mistakes is that 3.0 didn't have "PREVIEW RELEASE" right in the name. People started counting the day it was released, meanwhile the developers didn't have any expectation that (many) people would use it in production.
- collinmanderson 9y agoRight, the way I look at it: 2008-2012 3.x itself being usable. 2012-2016 Libraries getting 3.x support. 2016-2020 Applications geting 3.x support (trac, samba, ansible, etc)
