Re: [matplotlib-devel] Release planning/milestones

[Todd <tod...@gm...>]

I wasn't referring to just the default colors, but the default style in
general. Things like background, line thickness, padding, ticks, etc. I
thought that there was agreement that the default matplotlib style is not
optimal,  and that the point of the 2.0 release was to put all the
stylistic changes in one release so people don't have to keep changing
their unit tests.

color map.  I think that when we pick that we should cut 2.0 off of the
last release and then the next minor release turns into 2.1.  If we want to
do other breaking changes we will just do a 3.0 when that happens.  It
makes sense to me to bundle default color changes as one set of breaking
changes and code API changes as another.
