I think that version number in repo should always be bigger than released version, so that snapshot names reflect versioning better.
You need to use something like setup sdist --snapshot to get an accurate version for a snapshot, so it's not essential to increment after release, though even-odd schemes are quite common.
I also would like to somewhat untangle Win32 release cycle from ghc's so that for example stable hugs build could be reproduced (but that's assuming hugs build system managed tags on checkout.)
I'd like to see the packages untangled to the point that we're no longer checking them out of source repositories, but getting bundled releases from some place (e.g. hackage).
