Lance, I am most surprised that you would say this.
We used to call the minor releases 1.2.1, 1.2.2 etc. The CD vendors
complained about the updates (as you are doing), so we changed the
naming scheme to 2.0r2, 2.0r3 etc so as to make the changes look
less minimal. Now you're asking that we change again?
Do you advertise your CD set as "2.2r2", or just "2.2"? I think
the latter would be accurate enough, and should help to avoid
complaints from your customers that your CDs are too old.
