Microsoft too once thought bumping version numbers bigtime is a good idea. By now, they ended up with (1, 2, 3, 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7), which messes with trivial sorting in all respectable ways, thanks to the switch from digits to letters and back again, and the breaking of strict ordering (7 > 2000?!). Please, let's learn something of that.
It's far too late for that in FOSS, e.g.: Oct 22 2014 kernel-desktop-3.16.6-2.1.i686.rpm Apr 22 07:30 kernel-desktop-3.16.7-21.1.i686.rpm Dec 21 06:54 kernel-desktop-3.16.7-7.1.i686.rpm -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
