I think it's a good idea, especially a nice random sounding number like
"2.09", just for the Discordian value.

Metacity did the same thing; from its README: "The first release of
Metacity was version 2.3. Metacity has no need for your petty hangups
about version numbers."

Bwahahaha...

"less" has a great scheme, too - a wholly integer based release
numbering system.  The current version of less is 378. :)
