So, by the way - it's been 2 years since you updated the fun NAME. I
I was wondering if you were going to update that soon, since it's been
a while. I checked the blame and saw a change for 6.0-rc1, and 6.10-rc1
but not for 7.0-rc1. Not sure if you forgot or if that was intentional.
Maybe something to think about before tagging 7.3-rc1. Or 7.10-rc1. Or
whatever works with your counting system (fingers and toes, if
applicable).
I know there are bigger fish to fry, but for some people, this is
needlessly important (trust me).
