Thanks for formalising this, I would also strongly suggest that the
organisation is moved to the far right, and that we get rid of year.

<component> <major> <minor> <bugfix> <organisation>

We don't have to invent anything new -- large projects where a
component may be patched/customised by a specific organisation put it
towards the right for a good reason: that it is usually a local
customisation. The debian package versioning scheme is the best case
study.

cheers,
