[X] -1 No - Flume should adopt some other policy

For two reasons:

1. The Apache Commons versioning policy is an elaborate policy that
categorizes interface type, based on which it defines the change types
along with the development states that the project can be in. This is
very rigid and process heavy for Flume in it's current state.

2. Labeling a release as beta in the version number implies that there
are no plans for feature addition and all work will go towards
stabilizing the artifacts. We cannot afford such constraint so early
in the life of the project. If we have a multitude of contributors who
are willing to dedicate all their work on a beta branch to stabilize
it, then it makes sense to follow such policy.

Thanks,
Arvind Prabhakar
