I think this place would be a great area to highlight and determine what are our major "talking points" in the next release: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.49 Also, was harmony achieved in setting the next release number at 0.91.0?

I would be happy to help craft some of the release notes here, but I need wiki access. Thanks!

There have been a lot of excellent developments to be release in the next release, including C++, cairo, alignment/distribution along with new possible builds on win64-bit (Partha's help), and native Mac OS X (some almost-ready builds are out there). If these all reach maturity for the release the new builds are providing an increase audience and userbase. A changing version numbering scheme could reflect the developers' acknowledgement of this and demonstrate the activity of the software project.

You make a persuasive argument. I like the idea of moving from 0.49 to 5.0 with the idea that a 0.49 release is likely to uncover lots of bugs from our massive list of changes.

But whatever we do, I also like having a defined list of what would certify us for such a big release PR type event.
