[bbDev] Release Proposal

[Sam Bauers]

The recent release of 0.8.2 and the subsequent patch 0.8.2.1  
highlights a problem with the release proposal.

The proposed 0.8.2 should have been 0.9.0 then the patch would have  
been the more sensible 0.9.1

This falls in line with the generally accepted idea that the second  
number in a version string should be for feature releases (which is  
what we are talking about for these releases), and that the third  
number is for patches and bug fixes.

Can I suggest we correct the path of the version numbers and make the  
next feature release 0.9, that would adjust the initially proposed  
list as follows:

0.8.2   Slug permalinks and hierarchical forums (ASAP).
0.9.x   XML-RPC: receiving pingbacks
0.10.x  Pseudo-cron: sending pingbacks, deleting spam older than X days
0.11.x  WP's new taxonomy structure: extensible post flags (including  
bozo, spam rework)

... of course we'll have to forget that those naught-point-seventy  
releases ever happened.
