I can certainly be convinced otherwise, but I'd like to see the new
stuff more widely tested before it gets a stable looking version
number.  If most users (within the sound of my voice) are actually the
CVS version and not having problems with it, then I think it's safe to
avoid the x.0.0 bump.

Anyone out there using the current CVS, please respond (either way)!

Of course!  That was my objection too, and why I accepted the offer
(push, edsu?) for maintainership.  Most important to me is getting it
out there un-borked.
