Hmph.  Why are you winking?  Between new-style classes and the division
change, that's actually a sensible suggestion.

How about we change "2.3" to "3.1", making 3.0 a retroactive symlink to
2.2.  (Okay, so I'm mostly joking here, but I really do think there'd be
fewer complaints about 2.2 if it had been billed as a major change.)
