For Post 1.0, why not follow the Linux model.
Mozilla 1.0 would go into maintance mode, where 1.0.1 would only consist of bug
fixes that proved to be stable in the development branch.
The next Milestone then would be 1.1.1 with the odd second number showing that
it's a new development branch. 1.1.2, 1.1.3, etc would follow until Mozilla org
felt that it was ready to be released as Mozilla 1.2, replacing Mozilla 1.0.x as
the stable version of Mozilla.
Then development would continue with Mozilla 1.3.1 as the next milestone on a
new development branch.
This would result in developers allways having a choice of two Mozillas, a
stable version in maintance mode, for basing related projects on, and a
developers version.
