Although they are kind of failing in that department, they are trying to remove the numbers from all first books, both past and future, so it really doesn't mean a lot. Eventually I imagine no books will come out with "Book 1" in the title, but for now it seems like every other book does and every other book doesn't with no way to know for sure what's going on (and sometimes having book 1 still doesn't mean there is a book two as VoS proves).
