Geez, I thought we were permanently done with what-shall-we-call-
the-next-release threads after we dropped three-part version numbers.

I don't like either version of this proposal, because I fear it
puts way too much faith in our ability to adhere to a fixed release
calendar.  What happens if "v2027" slips into 2028?  Are we then
unable to resume the normal schedule for the following release?
