D-Bus and versioning

We are getting pretty close to clearing out the TODO list and Gnome 2.12
will be relying on this series of pre 1.0 D-Bus releases.  I want to
shake out some bugs in the core and the bindings and do a last release
for Gnome and then move on to fixing the remaining issues and major
changes for 1.0.  The question is does it make sense to move to a new
series, say 0.40 (or 0.50 since I would like to sync the Python version
with the dbus version), when I do the next release? 0.30 is most
certainly not compatible with 0.36.2, even more so when you talk about
the bindings.

Call it a warning shot across the bow that we are getting closer.  I
don't think any more major changes are going to go into the core and the
GLib and Python bindings are for the most part trying to stay API stable
barring any huge problems.  It makes sense to me to communicate this by
creating the new series.  Any objections?
