I am extremely upset that they stole my idea of incrementing Epoch by pi
for each release, and instead implemented complex numbers in rpmvercmp
in the upcoming FC2 test2. There is absolutely no way we will win the
marketshare battle without trigonometric version metrics.
Also watch for the kernel-space C++ floating point math accelerator
module currently proposed for test3. I am hoping that can be stabilized
before the freeze on February 27th. Crossing my fingers on this one.
