In my experience the only important thing is that you can look at the version and compare it to the one you have and that there is a new revision somewhat often (depends on the project for what "often" means).
I do not believe blackbox is heading for a 1.0 release. Or maybe it will. Either way it is just one more number in my book. The other key thing with revision numbers is they refer to a state of the code. This is why I have not wanted to add new items to the blackboxrc. 0.6x refers to a version of the rcfile as well. If I decided that 0.65.0 would be 1.0 and then went forward with a redesign as planned should the next one be 2.0? Why count from 1 to 10 when there are so many more numbers out there (-: Knuth's TeX (I believe) is an approximation of pi and every release he adds one more decimal place.
