FYI: I'll release as 3.13.0-dev0 soon to check out if that scheme brings some problems to me in regard of the systems where I enter the version number.
Again, nothing is decided yet. But I think it is better to do that experiment in the v3 tree than to potentially lose a v4 version number ;) (and, as a side note, my v4 release goal is not yet reached, so I'd prefer to stay at v3 if that's possible). Please let us know if you don't like that 3.13.0-dev0 scheme so that we can move to something different before I need to release the next stable.
