There have been a number of discussions, both over email and in person,
about version numbers.
I will be writing a proposal on version numbers as soon as I come up
with a formulation which will achieve some degree of consensus.
My opinion is that if it looks different from Dwarf 2, it should have
a different version number. Others are much more accepting of changes
in the content of the Dwarf data, while keeping the same version number.
