Why not wait for a big reveal at 26.0?
Nothing against the features, just OCD rearing its head about non-round releases.
Big version number means they made some big change, like, structural or new features.
Small version number means they found out bugs in those new stuff, which they didn’t find before releasing the big version number, and they have now fixed them, or they have adjusted stuff from the feedback they got. Compared to when they didn’t have feedback about those new features before they were released.
So you do want a higher small version number.
