I like this 7.1.0, it would also help to clarify what exact version is at hand.
People tend to use shorthands like 7.1 to refer to any patch version (like 7.1.3).

I like that.  In fact, we almost shipped a 7.0.0 but it was switched back
at the last minute because that's how it always was.  Perhaps the
objection is that a 7.1.0 would indicate that there will be a 7.1.1 bug
fix release, but let's not kid ourselves.
