Actually, there's an unforseen problem: the website can only
advertise VERSION_STABLE and VERSION_DEVEL.  STABLE is obviously
2.14.2 until 2.16.0 is out.  If we want testing for the
pre-releases (which we obviously do), then VERSION_DEVEL must be
2.15.95 (or whatever number you call it).  Ergo, no 2.17.0
releases.

Changing this would require a fair amount of hacking on the
website build process and documentation; not impossible, but not a
fun task either.
