Go ahead.  I have my doubts about it, but they're no big deal.  I think
Matthew has a point that twiddling the version causes negative emotions
for some, and I'm one of them.  It seems like a superficial and somewhat
deceptive thing.  Remember when Microsoft Word jumped from 2.0 to 6.0 to
compete with WordPerfect?  Remember when Netscape skipped 5?  That what
I associate with version number twiddling.

But we've done it before.  What the hey.
