I was worried about 1.10 because I wrongly assumed that the entire version string was ordered. SemVer (and https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0386/) specifically call out that each component of a version identifier MUST be ordered numerically. My objections based on that incorrect assumption I withdraw.
I'm +1 on going to 1.10, 1.11, then to 2.0. I think it makes sense, and nicely aligns with the emerging new policy. I don't think we should be held to naming the version after 1.9 as 2.0, considering we're changing the policy of backwards compatibility, the semantics of the version numbers, and the timelines of LTS. Do it all at once, and I think that sends a much stronger message.
