I like this because it makes it very clear that there has been a change in
numbering scheme. Skipping 7 numbers could be due to almost anything, in
the long term, but no one will think PG2026 is just 2008 versions after
PG18. Also, I agree that while most likely no one on this list will be
worrying about this in 2100, it would be nice to know that nobody has to
worry about what comes after PG99.
