Maybe I'll change it to two numbers for version.
What is the opinion of others on version numbers subject?
Major minor patch is well established and helps technically adept users clearly determining the version status ("freshness") and compatibility of a a package. How clear is "Chrome 247" and "Office Suite 2013" anyway? There seems quite some uproar about Mozilla's approach in copying Google over version numbering. For pure "users" (here: "user" as in "consumer"), version numbers don't matter.

Perhaps have a read for further confusion/ clarity.
