I don't really like this approach. I think we should just do a 1.0
release when work for all applications written for Java 1.4. We will
have regressions against Java 1.4 but these can be fixed in 1.1, 1.2
... Or if you want a slower version inflation 1.0.1, 1.0.2, ...

Using a year-based approach means nothing. Then we can use evil
codenames like "wealthy walrus".


Cheers,
Michael
