Bug fix versions would be 4.0.1/1.0.1 - that's how it was done in the  
past, and I don't see any reason why we'd change it now.

Non bug fix - I too have no preference, but if Wireshark's doing the  
odd=dev, even=general consumption, that's a pretty common way of doing  
it, so unless someone has a compelling reason not to use it, it has my  
vote.

Given that you're the only one who's commented on the releases, I'm  
going to put rc3 out today... and since nothing else has changed,  
Final will go out Monday.
