Yeah; I don't think it's *that* unlikely for it to happen again. But
my own principal concern about this mirrors what somebody else already
pointed out: the one-major-release-per-year schedule is not engraved on
any stone tablets. So I don't want to go to a release numbering system
that depends on us doing it that way for the rest of time.
