Peter, any thoughts on this?
I don't see the point in declaring a 3.0 unless we have some sweeping change that merits it. I don't think we should do a sweeping change unless we have a well laid out and agreed on plan for how the transition works. So I would want to see the plan discussed and agreed first, and then we can say "ok, and we think we can do this in this timescale and so the version at $DATE will be 3.0". Changing the version number should be the last part of this process, not the first, in my view. thanks -- PMM
