Memory resident Bitbake? Toaster developments? Logging improvements? New
shell commands?

Bitbake is the only repo which doesn't use the branch codename. I did
write at length about how version numbers as branches would actually
cause much more pain than any problem they solve, bitbake is one of the
few exceptions to that given its a tool, not metadata and has a more
consistent history where the version number means something specific and
is actively used.

The number does have some uses, its really not that simple.

If we want to discuss this all again, so be it, but on the eve of
release really isn't the time to start it all again.
