Re: [Haskell-cafe] Naming convention for version branches (Package versioning)

Any idea for the very first component? simply `release` maybe?

'release' is quite an overloaded term already; I would suggest something along the lines of "epoch" or "era" or similar. That being said, the official PVP calls both the first and second components "major", so you could just say something like "majorA/majorB" or similar.
