I've been thinking about how version numbers are restricting what we can do.

I'm quite accustomed to the FreeBSD development strategy. So I'd go for
 plan (1) but you'll need to make sure people understand that STABLE is
a development branch, it makes sense once you know what the terms mean.
I like the idea of flowing from one release to the next and tag the
major releases. This allows for major development changes in CURRENT and
you can trickle changes down to STABLE and eventually RELEASE. Plan (1)
just allows for more flexibility.
