- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoJust use the absolute value. An 80% decrease is a big change just like an 80% increase. (To be clear: I disagree with the suggestion, I just don't think this is a strong argument against it.)
- simonh 8y agoOne of my favourite Apple history anecdotes: https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Negative_2000_Lines_Of_Code.txt https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor... With my tongue firmly still in my cheek, I'd say increment the version number by the difference. So if you deduct 5% of the code and add another 15%, then increment the version number by 20%.
