Ugh, please no Microsoftish version numbers.  One increment per commit
makes more sense imo.

Um, 2.2.* is older than 2.14.*

It's MAJOR.MINOR.<something>, not a decimal number.  2 is less than 14,
hence it's older.

Well, we all know where Linux's development model gets it :P

I prefer explicit tags; -stable, -current, -prerelease etc.  Much nicer
than an arbitrary choice of odd/vs even and "increment minor version
loads to indicate prerelease".
