conventionally, we'd go to 2.n.n when we made a major interesting
change. so far, the rule has been

  * go to x.y. z + 1  when the change does not affect the schema 
  * go to x.y+ 1.0 when the change makes the schema different

and most releases _have_ changed the schema, so we are up to 1.9.
so I'd say

   *go to x + 1.0.0 when the changes add serious new functionality

On which grounds I'd argue that the genetic stuff warrants a change
to 2.0.0 (not 2.1.1 - we are nerds, remember).
