10.3.9 followed by 10.3.10? Not 10.3.9.1? Not 10.4.0? Not 10.3.91?
How much easier to have 10.03009 followed by 10.03010.
Or if it is a more significant update: 10.04000.
One of the biggest advantages of the "point 5" system is the ability to
run the same sequence for builds and customer releases. The way I use
it: the digits to the left of the decimal are the version; the two
digits to the right of the decimal are for customer releases and the
last three are for builds (or really minor updates). It is really easy
to release a build at any time, it's already numbered!

How would you run out of numbers?! After 10.3.9 comes 10.3.10 ;-) On a
weird note I was looking into "version numbers" last week and read a
nice article on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version
As regards to build numbers, I think using both is very handy, my eMac
runs Mac OS X 10.3.9 (build 7W98) so you can see Apple uses both.. The
build number isn't something that is normally visible to the end-user
(they're heavily used during the testing stages though).
