A binding -1 from me with respect to the even/odd scheme. We already
discussed these issues. And I don't think trustin is abandoning that in
this email. He's just interested in using pre- which might be a good idea.

Hi all,
As we've discussed in [email protected], the current version
numbering scheme has the following issues:
Even/odd semantic can't handle pre-releases when the major version number
increases (e.g. 1.8 -> 2.0). It seems like Linux kernel is using '-pre'
suffix to work around this issue:

1a. Start working in 1.9 first.
1b. As we resolve issues, we find that we need major changes in the API.
1c. Start to use '-preX' suffix (e.g. 1.9.8 -> 2.0-pre1)
This sounds fine with me. We can have pre and a rc for the release
candidates.
This version numbering scheme works, but we also need to take a look into
an
alternative, Milestones and Release Candidates
Hmmm you're starting to mix different release models. I agree with
release candidates.
