As John pointed out, what would 'svn --version' say under this scheme? Or,
would we only have x.y.z for stable releases?

How about version compatibility and binary compatibility rules? They have to
apply at all times once 1.0 hits.

Also, I'd think that the 'unstable' version *needs* a version number for DSOs;
not having a version for the dynamic linker is going to piss it off. -- justin
