Comment:
Another important point is that currently we get 6.6.YYYYMMDD snapshots
for 6.6.1, which sort later than 6.6.1.
I've updated the version numbering policy, and in doing so found that the
simplest way to avoid poor number sorting is to start at 6.8.1, with
snapshots of the branch starting as 6.8.0.YYYYMMDD.
And as an added bonus we don't get any x.0 releases, which as we all know
are buggier than x.1, x.2 etc!
