Doesn't it make more since to release a version where one of the numbers
is a bugfix number?

ex currently we have:  [ Huge.Major.Minor ]

and then when bugs are fixed they are: [ Huge.Major.Minor pl Bugfix ]

Hardly ever is a version released without a bugfix of some sort. 

I have seen the argument that we should follow: [ Major.Minor.Bug ].
Which i think is do-able if you alow minor to be larger than 1 digit.
ex PHP 5.12.1. If this is not desired it could follow a 4 digit
numbering system (Which is pseudo what we have today) except that
release version would always include the pl number. ex:

4.2.1.RC1

bugs fixed

4.2.1.RC2

bugs fixed / release

4.2.1.0

Then bugs are fixed

4.2.1.1

More bugs are fixed

4.2.1.2



Opinions?
