They will think what people thougth when Word 6.0 came after
Word 2.0; they will wonder what happened to Abi 0.8 - 14, and the
more cynical ones will see in it a cheap marketting trick; perhaps
we should call it AbiWord 2001, that seems to be the fashion these

I personally like the decimal system we use at them moment.
