While we're painting that bikeshed, I guess we may as well give it 
another coat.

So I'll point out that, although I still think 1 per day is fine, we 
could do YYYY.MM.DD.HH.SS. I don't think being limited to 1 release 
per second is really a problem!

Meaningful numbers that parse visually but also alphanum sort 
correctly are cool things.
