As indicated earlier, I agree with Morbus' statement.  For  
developers, 4.7.0 is a significant change.  For users, it is not.   
Calling something 5.0.0 sets a lot of expectations.  For the average  
user, an improved default core theme, written in two days, is much  
more exciting than the forms API we have been working on for many  
months.

For the next release, I want to us to introduce a dashboard, create a  
new default core theme, reorganize the administration pages, and  
hopefully include an install system.  By doing so, we have all the  
ingredients it takes to release a 5.0.0 and to live up people's  
expectations.
