Why?
Rhetoric:
Why don't we just align all our release cycles, switch to deb, and base our packages off off Ubuntu?
Sigh. I'm not even saying we should use the Ubuntu versioning scheme.
I just think it's bad that we reject something simply because it comes from Ubuntu (or Fedora, or Mandriva, or Debian, or Gentoo, or GNOME, or KDE, or...). It shouldn't matter: what matters is if it's good or bad, not where it comes from.
If we can't do this, then that's a really big issue.

Hi there, I couldn't agree more with Vincent on this. I really think we have other thing to work on than to decide a number for the next release every 8 months. The "not invented here" syndrome is a disease, and if any numbering scheme is working and is good, then we should use it. Anyway, if we're unable to agree on a versioning system, here's an alternative way: Write "minor" and "major" on two boxes full of food. Put them inside a fish tank. Bring Paul-the-German-octopus inside, and let him decide if we should increase the minor or the major number while we are all happily working on the next release.Paul never fails anyway (hmm, -almost- never fails).
