Yes. Per my previous email, we have always incremented the first digit
because of major features which changed PostgreSQL's position in the
marketplace. As a PG advocacy geek, I'm reluctant to give that up; the
publicity around 9.0 really did give Postgres adoption a boost, and I
think we can make as much hay out of 10.0.

Personally, I'm thinking that we're more likely to have a 10.0 than a 9.4.

BTW, I'd say this thread has pretty much shot down any idea of changing
our version numbering system.
