If you compare current CVS builds to the official builds, you will notice a lot great new features, such as gfx-card emulation. The problem, though, is that mainstream users will not be able to use these new features because they install the official builds or the official 0.72 gets delivered by their linux distributions. I would aks you humbly to change the version number, so that all users can use the advantages of the current CVS. Additionally linux users would not be forced to bypass their package managment system.
