Arnulf is a super-hero and larger-than-life OSGeo figure, and among his 
odd characteristics, he calls himself "seven" which is apparently short 
for "seven-of-nine" .. In honor of Arnulf we would call the DVD 
version  7.9

The reference is to some variation of Star Trek I think , but I dont 
actually watch that.. so really it is for Arnulf. 

IMO no one cares much about the details of the numbering, as long as 
they are unique and generally follow some direction, like getting to be 
bigger numbers. I think its fun.

ps - as much as I would like to skip to a longer cycle, I think we need 
a QGis 2.0 disk.. wildint knows the details on the QGis release roadmap.
