   I keep hearing references to various (unreleased) version of various
   GNU programs.  Just so that I understand the relative timeframes
   involved, could someone please order this list for me?

    - Gnu Emacs V19.00 is released.
    - Gnu Bash V1.07 is released.
    - Gnu GCC V2.00 is released.
    - Hell freezes over.

Commercial firms do not mention new products because they tend to
affect the sale of existing products.  The GNU project does not have
that problem, therefore, they feel free to discuss up-and-coming
products.

What that means to us, the users, is that we might fetch and install a
soon-to-be-outdated version, the costs of which fall on us.  Personally,
I'd rather hear about the new products and have an influence in their
design.
