        That brings up a point I've been discussing elsewhere. In your mind  
(and others on the list, natch), does 0.9 imply "almost ready" or  
"just before 1.0 is released"? Or does it mean that "this is the  
ninth point release, and there could be dozens or hundreds more such  
point releases before we even *think* about a 1.0 release" - e.g:  
0.9, 0.10, 0.11, ... 0.232, 0.233...
