<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">We need to be clear. Based on current names:</p>
<ul dir="auto" style="text-align: initial; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0 0 16px; padding: 0;">
<li style="margin-top: 0; line-height: 1.6em; margin-left: 25px; padding-left: 3px;">
<p style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;">7 - Expected to be stable for work on the development version. But bumps to latest upstream release can break.</p>
</li>
<li style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-left: 25px; padding-left: 3px;">
<p style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;">8 - Currently git hash based and too fragile to be of use to a broad community</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">The "7" style naming addresses a problem we had in the past. When we branch, there is not a frantic and fragile effort to fix places that are something else and need to be 7.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">We need a way to keep a stable version for active development but make it easy to test the next upstream releases. My proposal is to:</p>
<ul dir="auto" style="text-align: initial; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0 0 16px; padding: 0;">
<li style="margin-top: 0; line-height: 1.6em; margin-left: 25px; padding-left: 3px;">Keep the "7" style but it is not always the latest upstream releases</li>
<li style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-left: 25px; padding-left: 3px;">Have what is now "8" be the latest upstream releases</li>
<li style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-left: 25px; padding-left: 3px;">Drop RSB building of git hash versions or find a way to call it bleeding.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">I am not sure we have the resources to test bleeding edge tools. We can revisit that in the future if there is automation and infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0;" align="initial">This works if there is community helping test 8. Otherwise, seeing the impact of 8 on rtems is still a lonely, thankless task with even less pressure to fix the issues.</p>
