Hi Chad, thanks for that initiative. I agree our current system is
confusing, although I think criticism would have been better placed 2.5
years ago, when we released 1.10 ;)

Would work, although its confusing to change existing releases.
And it isn't practical in case we want a new major realease someday
(Phase IV anyone? ;))

Should be done for the next major release (if we ever have one of those)

Doesn't make releases less confusing.

I agree that our current schema sucks, but at least until we have some
kind of major release that would justify moving to 2.0, I don't see a
good alternative.

Regards,
CoE
