Well you *can* use whatever version scheme you want, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Even/odd versioning was very confusing for packagers and I'm glad you're phasing it out, but doing something different from the rest of GNOME is inherently confusing.

In contrast, everyone knows how to handle alpha/beta/rc and knows what they mean. Just use tildes instead of periods in the appstream metadata (43~alpha, etc.)
