Re: RFC: Drop micro part of our release versioning scheme

Hi,
Does anyone feel strongly against dropping the "micro" part from
libvirt(-python) versions? I think the original idea was to use this
number for maintenance releases in -maint branches, but we stopped doing
those a long time ago (v3.2.1 was the last and most likely even the only
release with micro > 0 since the change in numbering libvirt releases).
So the micro part looks quite useless, not to mention I am lazy to type
the .0 suffix all the time :-)
Yes, the "micro" is there for any intermediate releases, whether they
be classed as "stable" branch releases, or "brown paper bag"
emergency
releases. I tend to view it as a "get out of jail free" card, something
that you may never use, but is a good idea to have as a backup plan for
the future.
It doesn't cost us anything to have the micro version, and it has a
potential upside should the unexpected occur, I'm not really in favour
of removing it.
With regards,
Daniel
