We already do alphabetic releases in my opinion. 3.0.15pre1 is not exactly
numeric - is it? :-)

I am OK with your actions and plans per this email. If possible, we should
avoid letter releases.
Prehaps at SambaXP we can discuss the following:
1. The release numbering process
2. Documentation versioning so as to tie in better with release numbering
3. How we can better educate our users regarding dependencies implicit in
Samba. i.e.: LDAP schema, tdb file format, tool and utility changes, etc.
