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.

Thanks,
Rainer
