Something I've been using in pilot-link lately is that 'whole'
numbers will be stable releases, and other 'non-whole' numbers are
development or test releases. Example: 0.10.99 is a development release, but
0.11 is a stable release (oh wait, it's not a 'true' whole number, but you
know what I mean. In this case, we haven't reached 1.0 yet, so it gets a
little weird. I mentally drop the leading zero).
Even/odd also works, as long as you don't get them out of sync, and
can still do even.even.even.odd and so on, like 1.2.1.2 (odd?) and 1.2.2
(even?).

I'm all for it, it helps flatten out some of the confusion in the
users, currently.
