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.
