I don't think you should feel sorry. You proved an important point: it is
just hard to get it right! There are three names, so one should be able to
either suppose that these names refer to the current and forthcoming releases, or
that they are speaking names for the attributes "stable", "testing",
"unstable". But neither is the case. The naming is obviously inconsistent. I am
quite new to Smalltalk, but I preferred Java over C and I tend to prefer
Smalltalk over Java, because you can express things more clearly. This spirit should
- in my opinion - be extended to version names as well.
