Just like OS X (10). It's like everybody is afraid to go to 11.

To be fair, software is a recent human endeavor, and except for Emacs, I'm not familiar with software versions over 10.

In operating systems, FreeBSD, HP/UX, and Solaris are all on version 11. iOS 11 is in beta now.

In databases, Oracle and Informix are both on version 12.

I think the lack of high version numbers is not necessarily paranoia, but simply that there isn't much software that's old enough yet.

I'll bite. Chrome, Firefox, plenty Adobe products.

Plenty of Spinal Tap reference opportunities in going to 11 though. The iOS 11 presentation did just that :)
