I just filed https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37253
Corbin, I CC'd you on it.

As Gonsolo said, non-monotonicity is a big problem. If you're going to make a release shortly after fixing this bug anyways, I will just use the corresponding (Mesa or Gallium) x.y version number; otherwise a YYYYMMDD date or monotonic revision number could work.

Thanks!
