Who is this "we"? ;-)
Such enumeration of versions is undesirable for example in my Gentoo Linux.
It is impossible to correctly compare such versions at package upgrade.
The examples of good version numbering:
1.4
1.4.2
1.4-r2 (2 - is a release of package)
200711
20071122
200711-r468 (468 - is a SVN revision)
20071122-r468 (468 - is a SVN revision)
r468

Can we come to the consensus with KiCad versioning?

My propositions of numbering:
200711
20071122
or maybe 2.0

P.S. This is not a criticism, but a requirement for some compatibility.

Best Regards!
