re: #54 Dark_Falcon

Why do they call it “going gold”?

GA, General Availability, General Release, Gold…standard names of major releases. The actual release usually has a code name…usually alphabetic (Vegetables: Artichoke, Broccoli, Carrot, etc. or moons of Jupiter or countries.) When the .0 release (2.0, 3.0, 4.0 etc.) comes out, the name goes away.
