Make X.Y.0.N the experimental branch, settling down to X.Y.1 as the final stable release, following up with X.Y.Z as bugfix-only releases, and the next round of experimentals continuing from X.(Y+1).0.0.

This is attractive, if we can make sure that everything settles between 2.x.0 and 2.x.1. That leaves us only alpha and beta releases of 2.x.1 to experiment. Could be a long string of betas...
