When it comes to versioning schemes, the only thing you can count on is that no two projects will use exactly the same conventions. Any tool that cares about whether two versions are compatible should rely on explicit meta data, not numbering/naming conventions.
As for releasing often, we release code every time we check in. Many people already build Guice themselves and test out the latest features. If we decide that Guice needs some sort of pre-release release before 2.0, we'll do it, but right now, I don't think we'll need one.
