I have to disagree with you on this Frank, the version number is
nothing to do with structural or technical issues, it is a project
issue.  Changing the version number doesn't affect translation or
anything else that takes time to do, so it isn't going to delay the
release.

As shallow as it may seem to us technical people, that something like
the version number is important, it is part of the image that Geany
uses to attract assistance to the project, and that is important to
us.  And as such should reflect the fact that Geany is a mature
product.
