The date must still be in there. Some packages have used a format like 20070412svn1234, which is acceptable although not strictly listed in the naming guidelines as one of the possibilities. (Which is something that probably should be in the guidelines.)
Well, since we have a 0.X.<snapshot> scheme, and X is always increasing, does it really matter if a date is in there, or that the numbers past X even increment the right way?
0.1.1234svn 0.2.1233svn 0.3.1334svn
Wouldn't those work?
imo, yes. As you(Jessie) pointed out, as long as the X in 0.X increments, I don't really care what comes after it (within reason and sanity, of course).
Unless there's some other reason for insisting on including the date, but I can't think of one atm.
