Here's an update on the copyleft-next draft:
I merged some changes suggested by Mike Linksvayer to the outbound-(A)GPL-relicensing section and the later-license-versions section.
I attempted to solve the problem of not knowing how to redefine the system library exception by modifying the definition of 'Separate Work'.
The current draft of vanilla copyleft-next feels close to what I'm thinking of as an 0.01 release (notwithstanding the complete neglect of the AGPL-ish 'supp' file).
Word counts: copyleft-next vanilla draft 1356, vs. GPLv3 5644, Apache License 2.0 1581. :-)

Is there a particular signal that you intend to be sent by doing a numbered release?

For a pre-1.0 numbered release, assuming there will be any, I am thinking of it as a 'stable' draft rather than a rapidly-evolving one, a kind of temporary plateau in the drafting process. If this weren't largely being drafted in public, I would say a pre-1.0 numbered release would be somewhat like a low-profile counterpart to one of the GPLv3 "discussion drafts".
