Maybe, 2011.x, or 11.x, x increasing for every merge window started this year? This would better reflect the steady nature of the releases, but would certainly break a lot of scripts. ;)

But no, it wouldn't be for 42. Despite THHGTTG, I think 40 is a fairly nice round number. There's also the timing issue - since we no longer do version numbers based on features, but based on time, just saying we're about to start the third decade works as well as any other excuse. But we'll see. Maybe, 2011.x, or 11.x, x increasing for every merge window started this year?
