I agree. Just make a 0.20 *category* and put everything 0.20 in that  
category. And if that 0.20 information happens to be relevant to 0.21  
when that comes out, just add the 0.21 category, and a small  
subsection noting any minor technicalities (IE, this script got  
folded into this function, which is triggered from this menu, not  
that menu).
