Yes, I know about the soap opera.  The fact remains that 1.6 will almost
certainly never be a released chunk of code -- it never had a beta!
It's also true that the 2.0 released from BeOpen (once the soap opera
ends) will almost certainly be based primarily on the 1.6 code base.  So
it's reasonable to simply say that 1.6 has been renamed to 2.0 -- and in
fact, that's what Guido Himself does:
