I have two suggestions for the currently proposed bike shed:
#1) Add the additional condition that y is odd, resulting in even-
numbered releases and odd-numbered development branches, similar to
other projects.
#2) At the time of the next release, if the devel version number is
still x.(y+2).0, indicating there were no changes to the package
between releases, then the version included in the next release is
kept at x.(y+1).0. Otherwise, it might give a false sense of progress
where there was none.
