I think it's quite true that a project with only occasional casual
labourers, no full-time staff, and sometimes very extended commitments
elsewhere from most of its developers can't possibly expect to make a
fixed, regular deadline for releases -- regardless of who those
developers are.

I nearly raised that as an objection to that numbering system too, but
actually I don't think it does rule out a time-based numbering scheme
-- you just pick the number corresponding to when you actually do the
release, not every six months or whatever.

Alternatively, release every six months regardless of whether "the
work is done" or not.  That may not be as effective for a project like
this, though.
