Caitlin's got it. Furthermore, with the constant exposure of semver, it's a challenge to condition oneself to think in years instead of version numbers for one technology but not another. Which is to say nothing of how well "ECMAScript Twenty Sixteen" rolls off the tongue in speech. (I really regret adding the second half of my original e-mail, now... even if it was supposed to be moderately light-hearted). *"I haven't been this confused by so many skipped releases since the Xbox 360"*
