The project I run has been doing "timed releases" every 2 months.
Thus we use the month-year designation.
There is no more information in 8.2.0 than in February 2008.
If the user wants exact information about what code they are
running it is possible to ask git for the hashcode which identifies
the exact source tree. This has never been necessary.
We have a continuously growing set of features. Only those features
that are mature enough go into the time release, everything else waits.
Since the software is planned to be available and changing for the
next 30 years there is no need to "do marketing releases", aka
1.0, 2.0, etc.
