What’s Up With All These Changes in Rails?

>> Something as major as the asset pipelining feature (where you move assets out of the public folder and into the app folder), for example, seems big enough that it should be a 3.2 release not the next release after an already major change in 3.0.

What's the difference between putting it in 3.1 vs. 3.2? Is the 3.2 version number somehow more substantial than 3.1?

Also there have been quite a few releases after 3.0 - I believe the 3.0 branch is up to 3.0.8 now.

That doesn't make any sense; there isn't a fixed time between releases ala Chrome or OpenBSD. If you bump things back, earlier releases will happen sooner.
