I read it, and I'm still 'meh' on the concept. I think that there
should be a compelling reason to diverge from upstream versioning, and
I don't see it.

The SIG problem is that either SIGs are at the tip, or not. Having
different version names from upstream doesn't really help.

The user problem is that either users are at the tip, or not. Having
different version names might make that more obvious, but I bet that
people who don't stay at the tip won't notice.

I stay at the tip.  Having different version numbers from upstream
merely confuses my coworkers. Hence, 'meh'.
