As Speck said, it's been the same for the last 3 years. So given the desired outcome (stability, clarity), how would changing *anything* after three years of stable naming convention produce anything but a lose-lose for everyone involved. As Adrian pointed out (and it's a good point!), it wouldn't "change a single thing" for development.
I am not hungup on moving to A naming scheme because other projects use it. Granted, a more widely used scheme has a better chance of being understood vs a more obscure one.
Depends on who you are comparing with. The Linux kernel project, to name one, is the biggest open source project in existence, and uses our versioning scheme. We're not going to change our version system. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
