in fact, maybe the best solution is to just ditch that concept and go to "major.patch" version numbers for core. ;) we could just call the next version "5.0", the security releases and bug fix releases "5.X", and we know the next version of core will become "6.0". we'd always know what the next version will be -- they just monotonically increase. so what if in 5 years, we're up to version "15.0" or something? it's not like we're going to run out of bits in the integers that hold these values anytime soon. ;)

Actually, I agree with this even more. I hate Drupal's current version numbering system.
