First the obvious conclusion, those number are completely arbitrary. Each of
those versions has been a major version on its own. And as usual I propose to
go the way of gcc (not necessarily dropping the first .0 ;-) ). And use simply
a major number and a minor number for the version.
An yearly version on the other hand seems a good compromise. Again gcc is a
good model.
I don't have a strong opinion on this. Does anyone else?
Well, everybody is doing that. It looks like a good reason for _not_
doing it :)
Version numbers are just version numbers, I do not think that they make
as much of a difference than getting versions out fast. In the case of
firefox and gcc, the important part of the new release scheme was speed.
The rest is just marketing.
