Sounds good, I've seen other projects bump version number both before
and after a release. I guess it makes it more explicit on whether some
other project is needing a "master" or an official released version.
Maybe we should adopt that convention?

For example, Mesa could properly depend on or conditionally use "the
latest master version or the next release after release 1.x", when there
are some new features being developed.
