I’m not opposed to this for vNext. Our new monorepo with the ability to easily release everything at the same version number certainly makes this easier/possible. I don’t have strong opinions on naming. I do like the astronomical theme.
Just wanna remind people that most people have no memory of what version of android did what… They absolutely don’t think about it that way.
But lots of people remember Rocky III and when you type lord of the rings, it suggests “1”, “2” or “3”.
You can have both:
Aurelia 2: Saturn
Aurelia 2: Apollo
Aurelia 2 (Bolt)
Numbers are good because it means it’s renewed and more powerful/faster, but still the same brand. Unless you think your brand has suffered from some setback or “bad reputation” then just rename it altogether. But I don’t think that has happened at all.
Another thing is a lot of people I talk to about Vue.js, had no idea there was a v1.0 of it. They think Vue was just a new thing.
Angular 2+ or 5+ or whatever the heck version they’re on now, should just rename themselves away from angular with the backing of google right? I think they have suffered a reputation hit. Don’t become chrome, no one remembers what version of chrome they’re on.
