IMHO unstable versions should never go into packages/ports trees. And if they do, they should be clearly marked as unstable (in debian sid there're some of these: the package names are foobar-unstable).
Anyway, keeping development releases separated from stable ones is compatible with the linux kernel style numbering.
Aaaaaagur.

Why not just put actual (stable) releases in the "releases/" directory, and put the "unstable" releases in another directory (unstable, testing, or some such).
I think this is the easier way. If it's clear that unstable is unstable (i.e.: not to be used in production), version numbering is not a problem.
And what about people using OS packaging/port systems? My preference is for a) (or as another poster suggested, 1.1{a,b,rc}n).
