I like to see the original version numbers in the distries, with an attached minor (if necessary). And I would like it more, if developers change the first digit in case of major redesigns, the second digit for added features, the third digit for bugfixes. E.g. the upcoming DRBD 0.8 should better be something like 3.0.0, 0.8-alpha could be 3.0.1, 0.8-[beta|pre8] -> 3.0.8, first release of 0.8 -> 3.1.1 etc. 0.8 is understatement;-) Just my 2 cents.
