To demonstrate my point, please sort the following version numbers in
your head:
* 20110111.0
* 20101111.1
* 20111111.2
* 9.20111211
* 9.20111121
These are unreadable...
And now compare the same dates, but written with punctuation:
* 2011.01.11.0
* 2010.11.11.1
* 2011.11.11.2
* 9.2011.12.11
* 9.2011.11.21
...but these are even more unreadable.
My personal recommendation is to avoid date-based versions whenever it's
possible. (Yes, debhelper, I'm looking angrily at you.)
