How is whether there's a 0 before the 68 anything but

as-is, and it would be inconsistent of us to change now.
Changing how the overall numbering scheme works might make
sense, but simply removing the 0 wouldn't gain us anything as
far as I can see.

How? Let me explain.
Removing a zero is not what this is about. What we are talking
about is marketing.

Fine. You think that making dmd's versioning be something more
standard would help the community and its PR. And maybe it would.
But simply removing the 0 doesn't do that. The whole versioning
scheme would need to be changed. Even if discussing the
versioning scheme isn't bikeshedding, simply arguing over whether
the 0 should be there or not _is_ bikeshedding.
