In truth, I don't think it needs to be this complicated, but the numbering algorithm is irrelevant anyway. I regularly check a number of free software projects for updates. People use lots of different schemes (which means I usually have no idea when I visit), but all that really matters is that the primary distribution site identifies the "latest stable release" and the "latest beta release". I know what to do.
