As mentioned by others - having the second number represent the month

Namely: YY.MM.PP. Thus 17.02.01 provides direct and clear feedback that
- 2017 release, from the second month (Feb).
- first bugfix release.
Not being funny, but does this mean that 17.02 bugfix releases would
have to all be done in February, or could yyyy.mm.xx with xx > 0, mean
that the release was not done in that month, but just the branching
was?
While I think the answer to that _should_ be obvious (just look at
Ubuntu LTS version numbers...), it is one reason why I'm not too keen
about using the month. I'd say YY.AA.PP with YY = year, AA, PP = simply
incrementing should be good enough and avoids silly questions like do we
take the month of the release or of the first -rc? What if the release
slips into the next month by a few days?
Apart from that, I prefer my bike shed orange ;-)
Cheers,
Nicolai
