My only complaint with the current numbering scheme is that at a
glance it looks like the webpy team is implying the webpy is WAY off
from being a 1.0 release.

Personally, I mostly understand the rationale behind it but the few
times I have sold using webpy internally for corporate projects it has
caused me to have to do some needless extra explanation.
