No - because then those handful of Solaris supporters will get one more 'proof'
in support of their claims of Linux copying Solaris - first SystemTap copying
DTrace and now version numbers. See how we stand a risk of ending up convinced
we do not innovate?

On the other hand with Emacs style numbering - I am afraid Linus will be
severely tempted not to make a release in years or worse yet we would have a
rename on our hands - GNU/Emacs/Linux

So NAK on this one :) !
