With a 3 months cycles, I think a schema like the ones used by Gentoo or Ubuntu
makes sense: 2007.3, 2007.6.....or 7.03, 7.06....where is clearly
visible when it was
released.

I say this because maybe there is no that many changes for the X.Y.Z
schema, even when I am aware that this is usually the standard.

Just my 0.005 cents.
