Sure. Each to his/her own. I like the 15.0 designation.
Ya, my only opinion about Slackware 15 would be to add Plasma 5 and give it like 6 months of real world testing in the native tree.
I don't doubt that Alien Bob has done an excellent job, I used his Plasma 5 back when he first started releasing it but I eventually settled on Cinnamon as my DE of choice.
Where it to be 15.0 (as i guesstimate will be) we will not only get the best Slackware yet, but there will be tons of news and updates to what we all grown to like.
OTOH
Where it 14.3, we would get rant's from newcomers "where is the newest this & that" but would get hands on a release as rock solid and least "my old x is now broken due to upgraded y" from the old goons.
I bet my hat that PV, our BVDFL (cheers Mr. Pat ) will pull the best of the both bags again.
But yes the designation will be a message of it's own (to those in the know)
