Won't it be a way too much? Given that there is the only source tree, the flat scheme that existed until now seems more adequate. Personally I like the OpenBSD's version numbering: every release increments the minor. After X.9 release the major gets updated, so it beomes X+1.0. This allows easy mnemonics and avoids such threads on the mailing list. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
