Hi Pavel,

We needed a version number so that future versions could run along side it whilst migrating. '7' was chosen as the first version number in this sequence (you could say it is the same reason Heinz use the number 57). There will be a Drizzle8 in the future, once Drizzle7 is released and we want to make backwards incompatible changes.
