+1 for having only two supported stable versions. One as a „long term support“ branch (e.g. 2.6 at the moment) and one „normal“ stable (eg. 3.0 atm or next 3.2) +1 for keeping odd minor numbers for development versions. Maybe having a monthly rolling release with latests features to have more

Just my two cents, I like a clear indication, that I am working with a development version beyond the obvious changes of text. SO the versioning is usually the first thing I look at. That being said, I could imagine adopting the Python versioning scheme as an alternative to the current even/odd
