I agree with your point about making a release without changes. However, there were enough changes, patches and bugfixes in the last two years to justify a release. This is also some kind of a chicken-egg problem:
Oh, it's definitely worth having one _now_.
Personally I'd also vote for release versions like 2011Q1 or 20110301 or something similar (just propagate if it's yyyymmdd or yyyyddmm ;). In case of urgent bugfixes you could still do something like 2011Q1.01 or 20110301.01 etc.
Except we can't use these types of version "numbers" for Hackage, and they don't match the Package Versioning Policy: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Package_versioning_policy -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
