I think that branching scheme makes sense. We should probably define the intent of even/odd versioning and compat rules on the webpage (the how to release instructions and on the download links) if we are going to do it so we don't have to explain it over and over. If we do this ahead of time, everyone should have the same expectations knows what this means.
Also, we could consider probably playing some games with adding -dev or -beta after an odd version number. I say this with some trepidation - over in Hadoop-land they there are some contentious discussions about version numbering and naming that I'd personally like to avoid. Jon.
