I just reread Jim's edict E-mail about the topic and noticed that I indeed 
missed the dev postfix. That changes nothing about the fact that I still 
think this is totally silly.


As far as I see (and apparently Jim, too, since he agreed to use this 
policy) it's the best compromise between


- making sure that nobody creates releases from the trunk (hence the 
dev marker)


- giving development eggs from the trunk or a release branch a 
*meaningful* revision number (hence the version bump you find so silly)


Naturally I'm willing to listen to alternative suggestions.

I'll agree -- I don't want the trunk to have *any* version number in it,
because I don't want anyone to even think about doing a release from the
trunk.  It wouldn't need changing, either.


I'd like that too, but it breaks the expectations you'd have about the 
development egg that's defined by a trunk checkout. It needs a 
meaningful version number to satisfy version constraints like 
z3c.foopkg=1.3.
