Just to put this to rest, since I'm the one that suggested it, given the goals, it's not a good idea to rename the 3.0 to a lesser version. My primary concern was pushing SMP and other features out to 4.0. One of the suggestions was pushing out to 3.1 or 3.2; I could certainly live with that. It's unfortunate that most of the rational discussion occurred in private (or semi-private) email, where it was invisible to the place where the issue was first raised.
