If we keep v3, then "version" is an awkward phrasing to use. Some people with specialized needs may use "v3" while most people who do nnot have to use "v1" are better off using "v2" not "v3". If we were to drop v3, then "version" starts to make sense again, as "v1" is kept primarily for backward compatibility, and those who can afford to follow the latest can "upgrade" to "v2". Perhaps we can first agree to drop the last step from the series, keep calling these "versions", and then later add "v3" when we come up with an algorithm that would perform better than "v2" in almost all cases? I dunno. Thanks.
