Follow-up Comment #8, task #2171 (project savane):

Mathieu,

I begin to understand your intentions behind the version numbering scheme.
You're right that after long years of development and releasing, a new
version 1.0.9 (1.0.8+1 in your words) would imply to be a "full" release, and
not just a small bugfix.

But if you want to make clear that 1.0.8 is deprecated, and 1.0.8+1 is just a
tiny fix to the release, why do why need to use the plus sign?

In my opinion, it would be better to use a lowercase letter instead, as you
mentioned in the original post to this task:

> We could use a, b, c (1.1a) but it would be more confusing.

I don't see why this is more confusing. I would rather see a 1.0.8a instead
of a 1.0.8+1. To me, this looks more like a release with some add-on value.
See, what's irritating me so much is simply the use of "+". Could we settle
on using lowercase letters?
