Uh, guys, we just did it:
9.5 2016-01-07 9.6 2016-09-??
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, we haven't actually released 9.6 yet. It could slip, let's not tempt fate :P
That said, count me in the -1 camp for using a year number. Because it limits us.
Using something like <year>.2.0 for the second one in the same year could be suggested, but to me that sounds like the worst of both worlds.
