If you still want to tag something as really minor, you can go with 7.9.0.1, for example. [CONTEXT SWITCH] Btw, we can consider starting a etc/ORG-NEWS directory (much along the lines of ERC-NEWS, GNUS-NEWS, MH-E-NEWS and NXML-NEWS) We can mention the worthies since the last Emacs sync - ODT export for example :-). (I can submit a patch once a ORG-NEWS file is created in bzr repo) Another way to fill the file is to make a copy-pasta from Changes.org. If it is too much of a hassle, ORG-NEWS could start out empty or very minimal. No doubt there is plenty of ORG-NEWS already for the next Emacs-24.1+ releases. This will necessitate a ORG-NEWS in Org's repo as well. Jambunathan K.
