I think this is reasonable.

One observation. Maven does not have an API, plugins and projects can
access pretty much anything from the core. Add to this three distinct
user communities -- (end) users, plugin developers and embedders -- and
I think pretty much any change will break somebody. This means that
INCREMENTAL version component will be more or less reserved for release
respins and many dependency changes will require MAJOR bump. Not saying
there is anything wrong with this, just something we'll need to educated
our users about.

I think we need a version policy and the best way to get one is to put a
draft together and let people edit it to something that we all can be happy
with.

Constructive feedback welcome... in fact committers editing the doc is
encouraged...

Please leave the DRAFT heading at the top.

If a consensus emerges we will have a vote and put the resulting policy on
the project site as opposed to a draft document on the wiki.
