Because I'm not M$ employ and I will not release anything as final
when I know it's full of bugs - maybe I could mark some parts
explicitly as stable - but I don't see the point in this.
Also the snaphot inside changes it's number - so we are actually not
0.6 - but 0.6.5 now I think.
So I guess the finaly release will be probably 0.7 anyway :)

So we have just slightly longer version number -
e.g. some are using 0.6.1 - but we have 0.6.0.20YYMMDD - I don't think
it's too big problem :)
