SNA Is Four Years Old - Intel's 3.0 X.Org Driver Still Unreleased

[Gusar]

That's because you don't know about versioning: x.99.9yz is meant to be an x+1 release candidate yz

FFS, seriously?

It's just a label. The code itself matters. If a piece of code is stable, it makes no difference whether it's labelled 2.99, 3.0, 10ugabuga, ffs-who-cares-25... it'll be stable in all those cases.

Or would labeling the same piece of code 3.0 instead of 2.99.917 magically give it different abilities?

Proper versioning does give package management certain capability. Not that Intel is wrong in this case, they may have very good reasons that we aren't aware of.
