Your comment would be funny, if it didn't have so much truth to it.

From now on, for all my open source code, I'm going to version with this translation table:

Alpha: Beta

Beta: increment version by random number between .1 and .2, eg: 2.0 becomes 2.1.7

Release Candidate: add the word "Enterprise Edition" to the version

Release: Add the same letter Oracle added for that version: 8 -> 8i, 9 -> 9i, 10 -> 10g. The exception is anything that happens to be a BMW model, in which case I'll just make it the same as the BMW. 3.2.8 -> 3.2.8xi, 4 -> z4, &c.



No "Technical Preview" releases?
