What should we call the next version of the virtio spec? The issue is that unfortunately current spec versions all have "latest" link to http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.html Also, Google search for virtio still tends to turn up csprd01 and that has the above link in it. I asked about adding links to http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/latest/final/virtio-latest.html http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/latest/final/virtio-latest.pdf but did not get a response so apparently no go. Options: 1. virtio 1.0 cs05. Pros: latest link will point to the correct version. Cons: seems to be confusing to people - 1.0 is a product so one would expect 1.0 be in bugfixes-only mode at this point. And what would we call a bugfix branch if we ever made one? 2. virtio 1.1 Pros: internet searches will start finding the new version (although there's a risk it will get struct at csprd01 again). Cons: latest links from 1.0 will not point at this one. 3. virtio 2.0 Pros: publicity. people will know it's a new spec. Also, this leaves an option to do a bugfix release and call it 1.1. Cons: people might get confused thinking it's not backwards compatible. Let's discuss here a bit, then do a ballot. -- MST
