Yes, it will be bundled with 5.10, but is not too widespread now  
outside of the immediate community. I think that the extra dependency  
just for a version number would be annoying to a significant subset  
of DBD::Pg users.

Sure there is. Use the second decimal place to indicate. A major  
update would be 1.60 or 2.10, while a minor update would be 1.61 or  
2.11.

If you really want to user three-number versions, though, you can  
single quote them, no big whoop. We just can't ever change back  
(though I think that they will just magically be version.pm objects  
in 5.10).
