As long as the versioning scheme is self-consistent, I don't have any opinion on what we use.

How do Openstack's named releases (cactus, diablo, essex) not work, though? (they're still sortable, right?)

(and what was the .3 in 2011.3 supposed to mean? I assume it's not March, considering the October release...)

Cool. Will the version be 1.0 or 2011.3, though? :)

Well, a completely non-numeric version doesn't work IMHO. The easiest
path is to copy nova and glance, no? i.e diablo was 2011.3 and essex is
2012.1
