The problem with this particular picture is that we have no idea how big the cake actually is. That could be a cardboard box that used to hold greeting cards.

Say by the way, the team will have to do this all over again when 3.0 ships in the spring.

Considering had it been a negative impact I think the blogger that mentioned it (from Mozilla) would have said something.

You know incrementing version numbers that fast is a negative thing right?

Basicly what would be Firefox 2.1 will be dubbed Firefox 3.0. The numbers game doesnt matter if they keep dropping features to meet ship dates. Not trying to start some browser wars argument, but I'm willing to bet alot of features intended for Firefox 2.0 wont ship until Firefox 4.0 or 5.0 if they're just going to incriment the major version numbers.

No no defense...just when you increment a version number by such a large jump but you don't change things like features, core assets, or UI in a user recognizeable way then people start wondering what really are you doing...and it looks like a joke.
