Hi all,

I want to suggest that the 0.4.0 development cycle start from the
beginning with the -rc0 tag (in addition to the -dev tag).  This measure
helps ensure monotonicity of OpenOCD's version (from the perspective of
package manager sorting algorithms) for packages derived during this
series.  It more clearly indicates the actual status of development.

While '0.4.0-rc0-dev-123-abcdef-dirty' _is_ excessively long, one should
look at it like an expensive sports car.  It's mostly compensation for
inadequate version sorting algorithms in our package management systems.
Or is the -dev a standard of which I am unaware?  ;)

Cheers,

Zach
