Seven, or, depending on how you squint, eight :D

Draft numbering starts from zero: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-esni-00

And also the number resets if (as happened in this case) a draft is adopted by a Working Group and acquires that "ietf" in place of an author's name, so the predecessor to that zero zero draft was ekr's draft-rescorla-tls-esni-00.

Well.... yeah. If I wanted to be a smartass I would be saying something like "the 00 when it got adopted into the working group is important" though, unlike random changes before wglc.
