Just using full digits is OK, but we'll just be copying Fedora. RedHat used to have a similar scheme to us, and then changed it when they pushed Fedora out the door.

You have my full agreement. The arbitrary x.y is part of the distribution's identity. I haven't seen any evidence that anyone has a problem with it.
I'm not saying it is perfect, maybe we need to actually change how we use it. What I mean by that is every even point release so .0 .2 we try and have as much shiny in there as possible, and every odd point release we concentrate on stability?
