General chatter about version numbers.
I wonder if, in the future, continuing to overload the version number will be as helpful as, say, staying at an RC for a set duration before promoting to release. I vaguely remember there being an effort to get to "1.0" at some point as well, since "same features as spss" is likely a moving goal.
