That part I didn't grok: why force an artifical version number? I can't imagine a use for that. The "Rewrote from scratch." checkin comment Brett will surely make is milestone enough in the CVS log.

Bumping the major number makes a more visible change. There is no technical reason to do that, nor one to avoid doing so if you like the visible change.

A number of files in the Python CVS do have a 2.x version number; I always wondered why that is.
