dear god please make them stop
"That's a notable omission given that browsers – which operate on similar release cadences – jump by a full number for each regular release and make it a lot easier to understand if you are up to date."
Whoever wrote this sentence, please, please stop. Browser makers use integer version numbers because they are, or were, competing for the highest version number. And of course, these fuckers have been put to shame by the fucking companies who's marketing departments are in charge and decided that using the current year as a version number made any sense at all. Especially since most of these products now have two version numbers.
We need to start making people think again, or we'll end up with another fiasco like Arby's/Carl's Jr. found themselves in with their 1/3 lb burger trying to compete with the McDonalds 1/4 pounder....only to find that the grazing bastards though the 1/4 pounder was a better deal than their 1/3 lb burger at the same price, because '4' was bigger than '3.'
