The "new home" and "maintain" words in this sentence give the somewhat misleading idea that nbclassic will be maintained in the long run?
NBClassic is supposed to help with the transition to Notebook 7, but shouldn't be seen as an "alternative" to Notebook 7 long term.

Yeah it's a subtle thing to communicate. We want people who need it to know it's there and to use it, without giving the impression it's a permanent thing. I'll add a bit/re-work to add some clarity. Thanks!

I posted a comment in the team compass issue to see if the EC can provide guidance for the documentation as well, since they will be looking at the blog post: jupyter/notebook-team-compass#24 (comment)

I have updated this portion with a recent commit, and we can modify as needed after the EC takes a look.

Maybe something like the following?

| ## Why a new major version? |

I think this one is worth keeping, because it simplifies the language and reduces jargon (related to semantic versioning / "major version", which not everyone is going to know about). Maybe there's a plain-language compromise, like "Why the big version change?" Is it the "major-version-number-is-being-incremented-to-7" idea that you want to communicate here?

@jtpio Is "Why the big version change?" good? Edit: I've just pushed that, let me know if there's anything else.

"big" sounds ambiguous: what does big mean?
If this is because of the word "major" then maybe we could just drop it and only keep "Why a new version"?

Big was supposed to communicate that sweeping changes are taking place in plain-language (without the "major version" jargon and the odd-sounding/confusing phrasing that it necessitates...."Why a new major version" sounds odd, but "Why a major new version" does not...probably related to points noted in this BBC article...).
I've pushed an update to just "Why a new version?" which I think is good enough, let me know if you've got any other suggestions.

That's done. |
