I've got to defend the new scheme, because I like big version numbers,
and Twisted is awesome enough that I think it deserves them, like
Ubuntu (which I admit is the only other project I know of that uses
the yearly version scheme....well, besides the windows 9x
series... ;-) ).
But one thing that I think is nice about Ubuntu's scheme is that point
releases are based on the month of the year.
I wonder if the Twisted approach of mixing the year-style and the
fractional-version style might be too confusing.
