I don't know the wording of ICCA regarding the meaning of the title but
I personally have no problem with the fact
that a program evolves. My "personal perception" of the title is that
it belongs to the programmer, not a particular version of a program.
I think Stefan could show up with Bongo 1.0 , his new AI-based
program, if he chose to do so.

More frequent WC-events would be nice though...
