UIMA, empire-db, CouchDB, Pig, Buildr, Sling, Tuscany, Abdera, CXF all use numeric versions.

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. - Aidan -- Apache Qpid - World Domination through Advanced Message Queueing http://cwiki.apache.org/qpid "Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time." - Theodore Roosevelt
