So far, we have 2 strong oppositions (you/RCL), and probably 3 weak oks 
(myself, gentildemon, yekcim).

I'm myself not strongly bent towards the ubuntu way. A typical case 
where the major.minor.patch scheme was kept is wine, and they did have 
trouble about getting nearer to the 1.0, which has defined goals.

I wouldn't be that sure, considering that, precisely, ubuntu did it, and 
that's no marginal example. But that's just rhetoric talk, nothing that 
really matters in the subject at hand.

I'd rather we don't. This would lead to such ridiculous schemes as 
mplayer's external versionning (mostly because they are not interested 
in versionning, but the whole world is). I'm OK with 0.8.1, ..., 0.8.50 
(that means 13 years, let's hope not) if needed.

Maybe not even that. Network is stable enough in my opinion. People are 
mentioning bugs they want to be fixed, but those bugs are not that 
disruptive to the gameplay. Even bigger annoyances can be skipped with 
just "known to be broken, avoid using it until we say it is fixed in a 
later version".

Best regards,
