The only comment I habe is you wouldnt want any more than 4 point 
releases, before it got confusing.

Because as a number .5 = .50, and .6 is greater than .50

So either the rule should be no more than 4 M.N.* Releases. or when you 
get to .4, you start going to .41, .42, .43 etc
or just number from .01 ie 6.3.01  otherwise the sequence isnt numeric, 
its a list of numbers and wont sort properly (using standard ascii or 
numberic sorts).

So basically does .1 mean .01 and if so why not call it .01?
