Re: Version numbering for release DECISION!

I've decided on a version numbering scheme. Sorry, dates are out.
As much as dates are interesting, they create problems when dealing
with multiple branches. More importantly, they do not impart the
same sense of progress that real version numbers impart and, even
more importantly, all kernels are moving targets and tagged with
their build dates anyway so having a release date AND a build date
is simply too confusing.
EVEN numbers denote releases. e.g. 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6
ODD numbers denote work-in-progress. e.g. 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7
Isn't that how Linux does it? *cringe*
