I tend to agree, but I also think that - if we were to abandon the
traditional version numbering system - the alternative systems proposed
so far (here and on users@) are still more complicated than they have to
be.  Why not just use the date (YYYYMMDD)?  And add "RELEASE" on the end
to distinguish releases from snapshots.
