The COIN-OR Foundation Technical Leadership Council is supposed to be
making the decisions about how releases are numbered, QAed, and published.
Meanwhile, I think that something like Matt's proposal and CVS tags would
serve well enough.  One thing that's needed is a place on the Downloads
page of the Web site telling people what components have tags and what
tags are current.
