I'm actually not worried about the main content so much because it seems to be that it's still being defined.

I just didn't want us to be in a state where we were changing version numbers but not other quantities that were strongly related to the version numbers. I was tempted to remove or rework the words "current state" from the document and just manually increment the version numbers and space requirements as new information becomes available. But we're probably fine for now by changing "4.8" to "4.9", as ceri's patch did. Thanks!
