[Cython] Cython 0.29 – or 29.0 ?

[James C. McPherson]

1.0 runs the risk of hitting "never install a 1.0 release" habits.

Jumping to 29.0 would not, imnsho, be such an issue because people
are used to the rapid cadence of Firefox, Thunderbird and Chrome
releases. The flip side of 29.0 would be the question "when are you
announcing your LTS version?"
