What this model does is to make many more small releases (no more RC129), each with a stable feature set.
I don't see how that's different than a/b/rc numbering. You can still cut as many releases as you like.
1.1.0 1.2.0b1 1.2.0b2 1.2.0rc1 1.1.1 1.2.0rc2 1.2.0rc3 1.2.0
I can handle that too: version::AlphaBeta ;-)

But the argument that numeric only works much better for packagers is very powerful, IMNSHO...
