the highest minor_numbers for the nines and the tens
howdy , folks --- this is an abridged version of a post to -questions@ . i thank the person , there , who reminded me of this list [ but , still , -questions@ is a good place to start ] . i am already aware of the schedules for 10.3 and 11.0 ; but , that is not why i write . i can make assumptions ; i can divine_from_entrails ; i seek a person with --knowledge-- . a] is it --known-- that 9.3 is the last of the nines or , conversely , is there a non_zero probability that there will be a 9.4 ? b] is it --known-- that 10.3 is to be the last of the tens or , conversely , is there a non_zero probability that there will be a 10.4 ? if neither of these are known , then does some_one [ perhaps , a member of the re_team ] know the current state_of_thinking regarding the highest minor_number that will exist for each of the major_numbers that were specified in [a] and [b] , above ? for the benefit of those readers who conclude that i am un_aware , i thank you for your willingness to be helpful ; however , i already know about the security/support web_page . the information for nine , on the web_page , has differed from the information posted on -announce@ , in the past . this suggests that one person thinks one thing , while another person operates under a different apprehension . also , just because the web_page says one thing , today , does not mean that it can not be changed , in the future . for ten , this post is about the identification of the term , "last release" . please cc to : emailrob at emailrob dot com , as i am not subscribed to -stable@ . in advance , i thank one and all . rob
