One reason to change would be to avoid possible confusion created on
pages like this--

http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/3.2.html

where it says--

Author: Raymond Hettinger
Release: 3.3.0
Date: October 27, 2012

Would there be any disadvantage to changing the in-development titles
to read something like 3.3.0+, etc?
