I am not convinced about that. There might be ways to distinguish releases without using a consistent system (numbering or otherwise). The example of Microsoft Windows comes to mind. And, even though we are only talking about some marketed versioning system rather than the internal system, my concern is ultimately with what the users see, i.e. the marketed versioning. > So I (we?) really would like to have one clear system, nothing more. > If that is v3.50 -> v3.51-> v3.60 or v3.5b1 -> v3.5b10 or v3.50.01 -> v3.50.10 > doesn't really matter to me.
