So all that said, I think this is *still* something we want to do: have monotonously increasing version numbers.
OK.
There's one other technical issue: how to handle bugfixes and security updates?
One of the issues with "whole number" releases is that distros are likely to include a specific version. We'll need some way for packagers to pull in things like security updates, and the way packaging systems -- including containers -- work, that expects some kind of major/minor version number.
I realize that's not how Cockpit releases work, but we need an answer which will be acceptable to packagers.
