Just to note that, in the sense of making major changes to the language design, 
you're obviously right -- but I don't see the problem with bumping the major 
version number just to indicate that some key milestone has been passed (e.g. 
implementing in entirely the features described in TDPL).

That might even be a _good_ way of indicating to the wider development world 
that you have a really well-defined stable release.
