Well the diffs from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2 were massive.
I think 2.7.2 should have been called 2.8.

That may be, but OTOH, many people (myself included)
tend to wait for the .1 version to come out to fix
all the bugs in the .0 version.

The source dir is already named 2-8-1.
I think the new release should be 2.8.1.
Anyone else disagree?
