Well, I'm just not sure what our users will think of this. We might have the
unwanted effect of confusing them, which would be bad.
But in general, I'm in favor of this. Except that I'd like the next release
to be "15" instead of "2". 2 seems too larval. My perception of Abi is that
it "came of age" in the 0.7 series and has really blossomed very recently
(but by no means is it perfect or finished, only better). So if this
versioning scheme passes, I'd like it to start at what what I consider to be
a significant milestone.
Thanks,
Dom
