Seriously; all this random arguing over wacky scheme X or wacky scheme
Y seems a bit odd in the face of such an obvious answer.
Note that given Emacs' traditional numbering practices, it only works
with "super major" release like 22.1 -- a minor release would need
either some other scheme, or a change in the general versioning rules
Emacs uses -- but do we really need to spend time bickering right now?
[and judging from past threads on this issue, people _love_ to bicker
over it.]
Another comment on the wacky schemes: Debian uses a "-" separator in
versions for their own reasons, and a "_" separator in package names,
so it might be nice to avoid using these characters. They have
designated the "~" to be used to denote "pre-versions", so if Emacs
uses such a syntax, it might adopt this too, e.g.: "22.1~pre1" (the
suffix always ~ sorts before even no suffix at all).
