As you know, we currently have X.Y.Z, where Z is incremented for bug fix releases, Y for backwards-compatible feature releases, and X for backwards-incompatible releases.¹ The new scheme wouldn't allow for distinguishing the latter two, but I could live with that. I'm fine with either scheme. Holger ¹ https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/archive/devel/2013-August/008932.html
