I believe that Don Knuth as part of his will with TeX wrote that after
his death, one (1!) alteration of TeX must be made: the version number
bumped from whatever `approximation' of `pi' it has to a new version
numberer `$\pi$' -- which then will be the final version of TeX.
So we haven't quite reached TeX V$\pi$ yet.
