Which nonsense versioning are you talking about?  If you talk about
skipping 1.0 or Ubuntu schemes then rest assured that I dislike them
just as much as you.

This is a bikeshed discussion.  Two points should be clear

- the current versioning scheme sucks
- therefore we need to replace it by some other sane scheme

If we decide to discuss this here it's going to be a month-long battle
of attrition.  We just need to settle on *something*.  Believe me, I'm
not looking forward to discussing this, but unfortunately it just needs
to be done.
