A long time ago, in that other galaxy, I worked on a product called 'Smalltalk/V', and guess what some people called it? 'Smalltalk Five', where in fact the 'V' stood for Virtual. So I know folks are going to ask what /is/ the difference is between 'lang' and 'lang vee' ;-) Since it is not called 'Java V (roman numeral)', we should not, IMO, have Project V, so if we do want to put a suffix, I'd say a number would be better that a letter.
