Thanks Carl for the notes.

I find this line very confusing:

-- Minor. Even/Odd = Release/Snapshot (tar files) or Branch/Head (CVS)

and suggest to change it to:

-- Minor. Even/Odd = tar files or CVS

I think something like 3-month cycles works good enough.  That
reduces the number of stable bug-fix releases, while still wide
enough to allow major changes.  For best results, something like
the new linux policy can be set, say, major changes are only
commited in the first three weeks after a major release...

Yes, very interesting indeed.  Now make a way to accept ?1.0 to
show the BRANCH_1_0 branch ;).
