I'm hard pressed to find an application with a version number
LARGER than the library version it uses. I'm +100 for getting
a release with new features (LOVE being able to see externals in
the repo browser), but -1 on using a 1.7.x version number.

2.0.x just doesn't seem right either and I've never been a fan of years
in the release numbers. 1.6.10x (or 1.6b.x) is the best balance of
numbering in my book. In hindsight it probably would have been better
to never try and keep them synced, but moving to 1.7.x when so
many people are looking forward to the 1.7 svn changes that
include working copy changes would cause confusion. I already have
a hard enough time explaining that TortoiseSVN 1.6.7 is actually
the "latest" version...
