Why then confuse users with the first dot? The second dot having a meaning makes it even more confusing. Just drop the first dot like Chrome and Firefox did.

- ithinkso 2y agoAs the comment above stated - so that the numbers don't grow too large
- CorrectHorseBat 2y agoBut why does that matter? They are as large as they are, a dot in between doesn't change that. The only thing I can imagine is trying not to break scripts looking at the kernel version and expecting two dots. If that's the case it makes more sense to use the OpenBSD way and increase after 9.
