We once discussed the idea to use negative Z values for CVS and pretests,
e.g. instead of 21.3.50.NN we would have 21.4.-99.NN for CVS version
and pretests vould be 21.4.-98, 21.4.-97 etc.
One drawback of this idea is that the pretest version numbers are moving
towards a fixed limit of zero, which puts a bound on them. What we
really want is numbers like 21.4.-1/1, 21.4.-1/2, 21.4.-1/3, where
the pretest version numbers form series converging towards zero.
Or perhaps 21.4-1/2, 21.4-1/3, 21.4-1/4, which converge towards 21.4.
- use MAJOR.MINOR where MINOR is only incremented for bugfix releases and
MAJOR is incremented for non-bugfix releases. I.e. the next release would
then be 22.1 and unicode would be 23.1.
That would be a good scheme, I think.
