Do not care about the version number. For now, GRUB 2 is at an alpha stage. Rather, you must not stop thinking how to improve GRUB 2. So I appreciate that Vladimir is thinking various possibilities. Possibly, we will have to begin stabilizing GRUB 2 in near future, maybe in 6 months. Once we decide this, we should not make any (user-visible) incompatible change, because the requirement for a boot loader is more severe than other software. So, reversely, we should consider what we can change as much as possible at this moment. If we miss this occasion, the next chance is GRUB 3.
