But this kind of illustrates the confusion we need to overcome.
The two major releases we are talking about are 9.6 and 10. The
initial minor release numbers for them are 9.6.0 and 10.0,
respectively. Talking about 9.6 and 10.0 is mixing a reference to
a major release with a reference to the first minor release of the
next major release -- they are not equivalent. We will know we
have made progress when people start saying that we should mention
"both 9.6 and v10 in the same announcement."
