I don't insist on 2.0. I only think to make the jump to 2.0 now is without
a reason. We  missed the chance to name it 2.0 when releasing 1.6, so why
should we do it now. Assume we introduce a new file-format,would we relase
3.0 then?

But don't get me wrong, I don't care that much on the version number. I'm
glad we don't start something like LyX 02.2010.
