GNOME's new versioning scheme

The GNOME Project has announced a change to its version-numbering scheme;the next release will be "GNOME 40"."After nearly 10 years of 3.x releases, the minor version number isgetting unwieldy. It is also exceedingly clear that we're not going to bumpthe major version because of technological changes in the core platform,like we did for GNOME 2 and 3, and then piling on a major UX change on topof that. Radical technological and design changes are too disruptive formaintainers, users, and developers; we have become pretty good at iteratingdesign and technologies, to the point that the current GNOME platform, UI,and UX are fairly different from what was released with GNOME 3.0, whilestill following the same design tenets."
