<p style="color: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0;">This change removes the <code style='font-size: 90%; color: #18171d; word-wrap: break-word; background-color: #ececef; border-radius: .25rem; margin-top: 0; font-weight: inherit; font-family: "GitLab Mono","JetBrains Mono","Menlo","DejaVu Sans Mono","Liberation Mono","Consolas","Ubuntu Mono","Courier New","andale mono","lucida console",monospace; vertical-align: bottom; white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: keep-all; padding: 2px 4px;'>7</code> tool prefix and that would bring a lot of churn as well as breaking the promise of compatibility across releases. Sure the major version number changes across releases but that will be scripted by now. I can see this removes all numbers but are we sure we want that? I am not sure I am.</p>

<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">If any renaming of the version's tools away from the <code style='font-size: 90%; color: #18171d; word-wrap: break-word; background-color: #ececef; border-radius: .25rem; margin-top: 0; font-weight: inherit; font-family: "GitLab Mono","JetBrains Mono","Menlo","DejaVu Sans Mono","Liberation Mono","Consolas","Ubuntu Mono","Courier New","andale mono","lucida console",monospace; vertical-align: bottom; white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: keep-all; padding: 2px 4px;'>%{rtems_version}/</code> prefix in the directory structure is to occur, this change must still support referencing the current/stable tools version using the major version number as the prefix instead of whatever is chosen to replace it. This is considered a global interface to the RSB and must be preserved. It is in use by rtems-deployment and likely by user build sets that exist outside of anything RTEMS developers control.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">As for the background as to why this change is desirable, moving the directory structure from <code style='font-size: 90%; color: #18171d; word-wrap: break-word; background-color: #ececef; border-radius: .25rem; margin-top: 0; font-weight: inherit; font-family: "GitLab Mono","JetBrains Mono","Menlo","DejaVu Sans Mono","Liberation Mono","Consolas","Ubuntu Mono","Courier New","andale mono","lucida console",monospace; vertical-align: bottom; white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: keep-all; padding: 2px 4px;'>%{rtems_version}/</code> prefix to something static prevents file churn when major releases happen. Some of this churn has already been alleviated by moving <code style='font-size: 90%; color: #18171d; word-wrap: break-word; background-color: #ececef; border-radius: .25rem; font-weight: inherit; font-family: "GitLab Mono","JetBrains Mono","Menlo","DejaVu Sans Mono","Liberation Mono","Consolas","Ubuntu Mono","Courier New","andale mono","lucida console",monospace; vertical-align: bottom; white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: keep-all; padding: 2px 4px;'>%{rtems_version}+1/</code> to <code style='font-size: 90%; color: #18171d; word-wrap: break-word; background-color: #ececef; border-radius: .25rem; font-weight: inherit; font-family: "GitLab Mono","JetBrains Mono","Menlo","DejaVu Sans Mono","Liberation Mono","Consolas","Ubuntu Mono","Courier New","andale mono","lucida console",monospace; vertical-align: bottom; white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: keep-all; padding: 2px 4px;'>edge/</code> and making the edge tools build as the same version as the stable tools.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">At the moment, the remaining churn on major version releases for RSB comes from updating BSP vertical stack references, updating internal references to semi-global files, renaming of the files themselves, and updating the version number in version.py. Of these, ideally only the change to version.py would remain.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0;" align="initial">Any solution must preserve the global interface specified above.</p>
