Fully agreed.

I propose the numbering X.Y.Z, with
* X == major release number
* Y == minor release number
* Z == patch level release number
I propose that the next version be 3.5.0, with subsequent bug fix
releases, be 3.5.x.
When we merge build-improvements to trunk, I would suggest we bump it
to 4.0.0.
I also propose that on a regular bases (e.e.g 3 months), we make
either a patch release or a minor release; we make a major release
every year. The latter assumes we have enough momentum.

Indeed.
