The answer to both is "no, probably not".
Yes, neither snapshot versioning scheme helps understanding whether the snapshot is "close" to release with same version; thus neither schemes helps with this particular question. But the scheme where snapshots are numbered after next release branch is helpful when the question "Which release will include the changes that were introduced in this snapshot?" That does not work for the changes that happened after last snapshot before branching the release though. So far numbering snapshots after next release branch makes more sense to me. That said, making sense to project members is much more important anyway. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
