Works for me I think. Maybe I'll be able to combine the user testing for
both Additional Software and VeraCrypt in a single sprint :)

I also like the odd=bugfix/even=major scheme, in theory but in practice
the Firefox schedule leads to confusing numbering every year or so.
I have no strong opinion but it's a good idea to try version numbers
that are meaningless to us and see how it works for us this year.
