Build Debate: Followup on Build Naming

[Charles Merriam]

Hello All,

After a small novel worth of posts about having time-based release
numbers, the push from those that make that choice seem to be to have
function based release numbers.   The time-based release number was my
minimum buy-in as stated, so I'll bow out of build and release
problems for another year.

So, the 2008 Debate of Build and Release
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/2008_Debate_of_Build_and_Release) is now
closed.

Have a great day,

Charles
