    For me the question is whether we can say a particular X.0 release is
    significantly memorable or not, and why (SMP).  I think this one will
    be memorable.

    We only do two releases a year.  If we did four (which I am NOT
    suggesting) then I might bump the major version every year and be done
    with it.  But with only two a year a major version bump should be
    based on something memorable.

    I'm not a fan of infinite sub-version release numbering.
