Hear hear.  I second the implicit motion.  

While I applaud the efforts of the people who have put together the 
"patchkit", I'm certain that you're going to confuse a lot of people 
by calling the sum of 0.1 plus the patchkit, "0.2".

Or maybe Bill and Lynne's next release is going to be 0.3?

Couldn't you refer to it as 0.1-plus or something along those lines.
