The Unofficial Release Comments for the Leopard Updates

October 16, 2007 - 4:18pm

I can see the future. Mainly because it’s just the past with a new veneer. Here are my predictions for the last words uttered by the release maintainer for each of the future updates before releasing them.

The Unofficial Release Comments for the Leopard Updates

10.5.0	“I’m so sick of working on this thing, let’s just ship it already.”
10.5.1	“Okay, that was a mistake in judgement.”
10.5.2	“Oh noes! People are using this already?”
10.5.3	“I don’t see how that was ever working in the first place.”
10.5.4	“Wait, we released with that bug?”
10.5.5	“Okay, I think that’s everything. This should have been .0.”
10.5.6	“I cannot believe someone tried to do that and we’re actually fixing it.”
10.5.7	“But that was in the release notes; I thought we were okay with it.”
10.5.8	“Odd, I always thought we could presume we had a boot disk.”
10.5.9	“Can we work on 10.6 now? Please?”

I have said it, so it shall happen.

Cool! But you got the numbers wrong. You wrote 10.5.x, you surely meant 10.4.x. Oh, wait, this was meant as a prediction. Sorry, my fault, from looking at it I was sure you were talking about Tiger….

The future and past are curiously related.
