Web 3.0 was already getting old ten years ago, I could have sworn we were on Web 4.0 or 5.0 by now...

I’ve been hearing Web 3 everywhere too. To be fair Web 3.0 never caught on and this is Web 3, not Web three point oh.

Ah, so the "new hotness" is just a Web 3.x point-release. Gotcha. :P

Yep. At some point, maybe after the 4.x or 5.x releases, someone will get fed up with point releases and push for an aggressive release schedule on new Webs and incrementing the whole version number each time.

I hope to be present at that meeting so I can deliver a swift Service Pack to his face.

How about naming the releases after the year and month. So we can be in 21.11 release of the web now. New release due in 21 days...
