I think this sounds very appealing.

But there is also an argument to be made for the kernel scheme to allocate
certain version numbers as development versions. In GHC they accomplish this
using the ordinary <major>.<minor>.<bugfix> with a twist. Every odd <minor>
is a development version and the even ones are release versions. I think
this works pretty well and might be an alternative scheme to consider.

All the best,
