Just curious, why the profile # jump from 17.1 to 23.0 ?

I'm just curious. Why is there such a large gap/jump between my current profiles (17.1) and the new profiles (23.0)? Were there experimental profiles being tested that ate up 18-22?

It's based on the year the profile was made, work for 23 profiles started in 2023 so they're 23 (took a while so they ended up getting officially announced in 2024 though).

17 ones were 2017.

Kellerkalt,

The profiles are named for the year of there release. There were two in 2017, so 17.0 and 17.1
The /23.0/ profile has been in the works for some time. It was supposed to be read in time for the end of 2023, so I supposed in should have been renamed to /24.0/ but there is no added value in that.

There are no intermediate profiles, at least, not by Gentoo.
Other repos can release their own profiles :)
