"One thing I could suggest...if version numbers are really as unimportant as 
some claim (and I might be inclined to agree), drop them altogether for the 
distribution as a whole, and instead call it "The Gentoo Project" or whatever, 
with no public version numbers...except for the installer, for which a version 
number could be viewed in the package name for download and during the 
install, which is really the only time it would actually be important." 
 
--> I like this idea...
