Hi,
after some discussions in the past I propose to use the following numbering scheme for future releases of U-Boot (starting with the upcoming one):
Regular releases (about once every two months or so) shall be named "YYYY.MM" with YYYY = year as 4 digits, MM = month (01..12)
In other words: VERSION = year as 4 digits PATCHLEVEL = month as 2 digits
That means the upcoming release, which is scheduled for October 2008, would be named "2008.10".
Sounds good to me, although I have a hard time imagining needing four levels. "Be prepared" I guess. ;-)

Are there any important arguments against this versioning scheme ?
Not from me.
Of course, we need silly alphabetical animal names for "code names." No, wait, that's been done before. I know! We can use u-boat names for the code names. We can start with the code name "Unterseeboot 1." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U-boats
