major numbers are escape hatches (Score:1)

I'm not a big fan of version numbers meaning anything but "newer," but I'd always suggest 1.YYYYMMDD over YYYYMMDD because later if you decide that 20100720 is a terrrible version number, you're kind of stuck with it. If you used 1.YYYYMMDD, you just bump to 2.000.
