My wish is that Postfix 3.0, should it ever happen, would be a rewrite which sacrifices backward compatibility and the easy upgradability. Many things were learned over the course of Postfix 1.x/2.x development, and a Postfix 3.0 (in my ideal world, that is) should have the benefits of those lessons without the burdens of the past.
I agree. major.minor.patch makes the most sense, and is the easiest to follow. "Major" should only change as necessary. I personally dislike the way in which a lot of products change their major version willy-nilly. It makes versioning meaningless. major.minor.patch has very specific and exact meaning. If people aren't able to logically follow that 10 > 1, then perhaps they need some schooling in remedial math.
