"Given version numbers like X.Y, should we version our stable releases such that X is increased for each stable release, and Y for each stable update? E.g. lenny is 5.0, but instead of 5.0r1, 5.0r2 we'd have 5.1, 5.2, etc. lenny+1 would be 6.0."

    I agree to bumping integers each time, but not to assigning the first decimal to each point release. See the thread on the list.

    whether lenny+1/2 should be named 5.5 or 5.3, if 5.2 was the last stable update, is not part of this vote. This vote is just stable releases are distinguished with X and every stable update gets a new Y.
