+1 on the milestone thing.

I think we should call it Wicket 6, just to annoy Howard. ;-p

Seriously, though, I'm sure I remember seeing something vaguely
official from Apache on this, but I can't find it on Google. :(

That said, several other Apache projects have remarkably similar
numbering conventions:
http://openjpa.apache.org/openjpareleasepolicy.html
http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/NextRelease

Which suggests that we should probably call it Wicket 2.0.0, unless we
want to make sure the generics support and everything else is actually
backwards-compatible, which seems improbable.

Regards,

Al
