Yeah, I thought of doing 0.9.21.1 but this doesn't really fit in with the current macros which assume only major, minor and micro. I think 0.10.0 is fair enough and if the 10 changes to 11 soonish that's fine too. I'd say each six months or a year we can have a new minor version bump (to follow roughtly the distro release cycles). Seems to make sense to me. Hopefully Lennart will either ACK or suggest other ways of working.
