This seems like an overly complicated version.

I'd say if you're trying to get something in there that indicates stable 
vs development branch then just move to the

major.minor.release

scheme where even minor is stable and odd minor is development.  Who 
knows what causes the major bump (maybe when minor would reach 10?). 
This is fairly simple and there are a number of existing projects which 
do this so it won't be new for to many people.
