Do we? I'd rather see you come up with new points (not covered by earlier discussions in this list) as to why the term "Web 2.0" should be used despite its unclear definition and historically incorrect suggestion that the Web's development is revolutionary rather than evolutionary. Imho "2.0" is merely a rhetorical trick. Not useful, rather harmful. Consider "Music 2.0", "USA 2.0", "aoir 2.0", "Garthwaite 2.0"...
