The choice of 0.7.5 follows from the marketing tradition of using ". 
5" as not-quite-a-full-rev revision bump. In this case, the jump to  
0.7.5 would indicate that i18n bugs/work are all done. We might jump  
from 0.7.1 straight to 0.7.5. Or we might get out a 0.7.2, and then  
jump.

We might want to pay attention to the "Odd-numbered versions for  
development releases" section of that page..
