Well, good. This will allow Apple to move away from OS releases 10.n and get to releases 11.n if they choose.

Maintaining the "OS X" name forced them to stay with release 10.n way too long. Letter "X" stopped being cool many years ago (OS X, XP, XBox, Xwhatever).

Dayglored predicts "MacOS 11.0" within a year.

And BTW, whatever happened to the idea that the Mac and the iDevices would be running the same OS? Granted they're from a similar codebase under the hood, but did the merging into "One OS To Rule Them All" concept sort of go away?
