No, I'm talking about this: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
=1.4.1 -> =1.4 |
| 17 |
=1.4.2 -> =1.4 |
| 18 |
=1.4* -> =1.4 |
| 19 |
>=1.4.1 -> >=1.4 |
| 20 |
>=1.4.2 -> >=1.4 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
(basically killing everything after '4' and dropping 1.4.1 and 1.4.2) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I don't see us killing 1.4 anytime soon - it's still widely used (especially in |
| 25 |
enterprise environments). |
