Its rather anecodotal seeing release like 3.45b79 (i duno if thats
even a release), where corporations don't even deal with minor version
numbers let alone patch-levels.

I favor 3.70, also

I hope this doesn't start a flame-war but considering you've

increment be waranted (i.e. nmap 4.0a1)

At the rate I've been pumping out (alpha) releases, it seems like I'd
be well past 4.0 before the public release :).  Actually I want to
write a 2nd generation OS detection system and make many other
improvements before calling it 4.0.  But I agree that the version
number should be bumped.  If I call it 3.59, some uninformed people
probably wouldn't upgrade from 3.55 just because they are so close.
I'm currently favoring 3.70.

Cheers,
