We can always have 1.10 and 1.11 etc. That would not be uncommon (there 
is for example Perl 5.10 as we're waiting for Perl 6). However, I'm for 
having 2.0, not just because numbers ran out but because that would be a 
chance to do something a bit more major. One idea would be to make a 
general call for new ideas and wish lists.
