PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

I meant to reply but kept getting distracted while typing it out. It's my favorite trait of mine. 🙄 Sorry about that. But when we sat down to record the following episode, we ended up talking about what you wrote..
I really appreciate this insight. This is something we never would have gotten doing our normal digging. I have a lot of respect for folks like you for doing real hard work and still having it not quite work out the way you wanted.
Thank you so much for sharing :)
Heh, that's amusing ;)
We did do the high version numbers for alpha, beta, RC etc. leading into 4.0 as well.
You can find some of that here: 4.0 release schedule - go through the version history of that page. Fun times. (Makes me nostalgic.) You'll note that the release date got pushed back a few times as more betas and things were inserted. You'll also see version numbers like 3.97 for release candidates.
That release schedule is a rabbit hole! We could probably do an entire segment just over 4.0. That would be something.
Thanks for the work distraction. :)
