Hmm.  I made it one for 9.06 (you), three for 09.06 (Julie, Heikki and
me -- although I didn't say so, that's my preference) and four for 9.1
(Vlada, Emanuel, Yves and Shelagh).  Am I missing something?  Did
someone else vote for 9.06?

I'm increasingly persuaded that 9.1 is not a good idea, despite its
popularity.  I think it looks too much like a conventional major/minor
version number and makes things confusing if, for example, 9.3 -> 10.1
turns out to be a tiny update while 10.1 -> 10.2 is a major feature
release.  That's less of a problem if it's explicit that the "minor"
number is simply the month.  The numbers should either be totally
deterministic as Heikki likes, or totally determined by us.

I prefer 09.06 to 9.06 because I like the look better, it sorts better
against 10.05, and it looks a little bit less like Ubuntu.  Of course,
the distinction will become totally moot in less than a year anyway.
I hereby propose that we wait until 2010 to release anything, in order
to avoid this serious and intractable problem.
