well, the xtemplate -> phptemplate switch (yeah, I forgot that was  
this cycle too) will also create an OMGWTF reaction with a bunch of  
people (probably the ton of drupal admins not on this list).  
Personally, I'm not worried about it... but I knew (or had a good  
idea) it was coming and had already made the switch... but a quick  
show of hands at the last toronto drupal user group meetup made me  
realize that there are those who still use xtemplate.

Again, this isn't really a "user feature" - although, it's arguably  
not really a "developer feature" as well.

My case for version numbering would be tied to backwards  
compatibility ... but then, Drupal would be somewhere around version  
62.0.2 by now. ;)
