That would be a bad idea - as GStreamer core won't load plugins that have
anything other than 0.10 in the PluginDesc major/minor version fields, which
is what they'd end up with without more changes.

Personally, I don't see a problem with using 0.10 version numbers and a
warning in the release notes about possible API changes in the elements -
it's the same thing we do with gst-plugins-bad after all.
