I've pushed out a v1.0.0b maint release to fix a bug in HTTP
fetch that was discovered today X-<.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the maintenance release to be 1.0.1?

Seconded. letters in versions are bad. With my MacOS background, for me,
"b" means "beta" :)

FWIW, thirded. The kernel used to use letters too, and it's cute, but just
using multiple levels of release numbers is much more common.

Also sucks because letters after numbers a read as "units".

Just compare 5h, 3kg, 20cm, 9in, 1.3h

Also putting letters after version numbers usally gives me
a feeling that the author is not sure about what he does.
But this is just me, I guess

I hope util-linux is going to learn all that one day :-)

Maybe. Nobody mentioned this about 0.99.9a, 0.99.9b... though.

The series 1.0.0[a-z] is meant to parallel 2.6.14.[123...]
"fixes only"; OTOH I'd like to allow 1.0.[123...] to contain
enhancements.

Well, the Linux numbering scheme has gotten ridiculous, with the 2. in
front having no meaning.

True.

We could do 1.0.0 (base 1.0 release), 1.0.1 (instead of 1.0.0a),
1.0.2 (instead of 1.0.0b) on the "maint" branch and 1.1.0 to be
next minor feature release. Do you like it better?

I think that would make sense.
