setuptools can be configured to tag "dev" releases with the date instead
of the SVN revision. I haven't had any trouble in practice with it so
far (with in-house projects) since the comparison setuptools does to
determine if a version is newer than another works as expected. As for
"stable" releases, the same X.Y.Z notation scheme being used now can
still be used.

If setup.py is properly setup (sic) it allows setuptools to be installed
automatically if it's not installed. I guess that now that setuptools is
more widely used and most probably anyone installing TW for the first
time has already a setuptools-enabled system (since TG/Pylons depends on
it) it doesn't matter so much anymore.
