JavaScript 2015?

[Andrea Giammarchi]

For what it matters, I've summarized my thoughts and described the problem
here:
http://webreflection.blogspot.de/2015/01/javascript-and-living-ecmascript.html

I know here it looks like I've been just a drama queen, but I think naming
milestones are a better approach and brought better results to the JS
community.

You all know what's best for the specs though, so I'll drop further
comments here.

Best Regards
