(or) be scientific about it, realize that number can't predict the future, and use 13 :)

Googling version 13 shows that there are precedences:

IMS version 13 library
EEGLAB rivision history version 13
Linux mint maya version 13
Windward version 13
Firefox version 13
Adobe photoshop version 13 etc..

Sorry, I am wearing a party pooper hat today :)

However, it may be Oracle 13B: B for BigData.
