That doesn't seem to be the case currently. UIMA, empire-db, CouchDB,
Pig, Buildr, Sling, Tuscany, Abdera, CXF all use numeric versions.
Qpid is the only release from the incubator that I can see since May
(when I gave up looking) that's used a milestone.

There's nothing in policy about that.

Except that it messes up autoconf so the cpp has an entirely different
version from the other artifacts. It's generally a bit of a PITA.

s/M/0./ seems simple, straightforward and easily for tooling. I'm
amazed that it's generated this much discussion.
