We discussed the release numbers early this year.

We wanted a numbering scheme that most users
of OpenOCD would understand immediately without
any explanation.

0.3.0 => the first 0 is meaningful. It conveys that we feel that
it still needs a lot of work. Not only in terms of code but also
process and community.

3 => the real release number

trailing 0 => we have yet to cut a bugfix release as we intend
to have short cycles.

Lets keep things as-is unless there is wide agreement
to switch to something *significantly* better.

As cycles can be *long* in embedded development, there is
nothing wrong with using a tool that is several years old, so
I'm glad the date/year isn't in there.
