Re: [jetty-dev] Seeking opinions on timestamps in version strings

["David M Williams" <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Does this apply to every bundle you release?
As you may know, we in the Eclipse Platform "prereq" some of
your bundles from a p2 repository you create, and we would need 4 part
version numbers in order to keep things straight. At least easily. For
this exact case, I am not sure what implications/impact would be of "going
down" (in terms of OSGi-like versions). That is, I am not sure if
it just complicates things, or makes things impossible. 

As far as I know, you only produce the
p2 repository after you release something, so it may not be an issue. But,
if that ever changed -- say, you wanted us to test something before it
was released -- then I am pretty sure we would would not be able to do
that with a 3-field release version.

Seeking opinions on timestamps in version strings

It's 2016.

Lets drop the timestamps from our versions strings on
stable releases. 
(pseudo snapshot/timestamps are still present outside
of maven central)

That would mean our next release could be just "9.3.7"

Soliciting feedback on this proposed change.
