Hm. That has a lot of implications.

I cannot see openocd doing major/minor releases, let alone patches. There is no 
roadmap, no definition of what major/minor would mean. Given our contribution 
model, 
it doesn't seem viable. Contributions will hardly ever match up with features 
on a 
roadmap. We just have to take what's coming. 

Patch releases imply that a "stable" version exists to receive these patches. I 
don't see 
that happening. I'm all for increasing the release frequency, though. But a 
single, 
incremental version number is IMHO good enough for our release model. What 
about the 
next version just being "11" followed be "12" half a year later?

Automatic nightly builds for the supported platforms would be nice and will 
make 
openocd more accessible between releases.
