Would agree with the reasoning. The only real drawback from the current 
versioning is that the major version numbers are close enough together 
to imply that the UNIX version is somehow "old" or stuck on a legacy 
branch (compare to the similar-sounding 1.4 series that just got 
de-supported).. not exactly the impression we'd like to convey.

  Of course, you could just wait until the Windows client has pulled 
ahead far enough on its own, but perhaps a single version bump would be 
good enough.
But overall not a major issue for us.
