At present I like keeping the master, development-only, branch at a fixed 
version number.  I agree that it can make things more difficult, but as I said 
earlier, it helps make it very obvious when you try to install it that you 
aren't using a stable, released version.  I'll keep an open mind about it, but 
as of right now I don't see enough of a compelling reason to switch.
