Software versions have existed since, well, the beginning of software.. and you still can't get agreement on whether 1.01 is before, after, or the same as 1.0.1. This is a problem that is at least 40 years old, and I don't see WoWI making any headway in solving it on their own.
Personally I like the "rXXX" numbers.. makes it plainly obvious that one version is higher than another, and a larger jump in numbers is a bigger upgrade. But pick a standard.. any standard.. and you'll find a third of the developer community arguing about how that standard sucks because it doesn't work in some situations.
If it were as simple as "pick a standard" .. the global computer programming community would have solved it by now.
