In terms of version and release control, all maintenance deserves sub-version releases only. iOS 12? What’s the great features giving it the honour for an integer increment?
What about iOS 11.2.6, 11.2.7...
then iOS 11.3.1, 11.3.2 etc.
once I see iOS 11.9.9, I may be glad to see iOS 12.0. Make sense?
Yeah. Why even talk about iOS 12. We are still at 11.2.5 for freakin sake.
