Thanks for your feedback Aaron.

We are used to the even/odd scheme. There are other projects that have always 
used the "unstable=.99" scheme. Once you know it it's equally easy to explain, 
no ?
If we would go to a two-number scheme for stable it would feel weird to me if 
the first number would distinguish between even and odd, like
3.0 is unstable and 4.0 is stable. For me that doesn't work very well.
