Allison and I talked about that. It seems to me that we might as well put
likely removal dates (in terms of "GONE BY AUGUST 2009") in our deprecation
notices for the sake of clarity anyway, so we might as well keep our numbering
scheme very boring and very predictable.
That means we plan in biannual chunks (here are the features we want to
provide in the next six months), we have a six month deprecation cycle
(removing deprecations no sooner than six months), and we increment the major
version number once a year. It's very boring and there's no magic, and I like
both of those features very much.
