With low numbers at first (Score:2)

I like the idea of having less than 1.00 versions while the API is stabilising, but I feel that it should jump to above 1.00 when everything is firmed up and you are reasonably confident that you will be backwards compatible.
I just haven't followed that style in my own module (DBD::Ingres) - mostly because I felt that I could'nt have DBD::Ingres at above 1.00 when the DBI was at 0.xx, and there has'nt been a good opportunity since to raise the number (a major jump in version number should also signify a major increase in something else).
