Well, I'm viewing this from a linux distribution perspective. At the moment, whenever Ubuntu (or other widely-used distro) users upgrade to a new distribution version, they get a new upstream version of Firefox, OpenOffice/LibreOffice etc... this obviously attracts attention from development blogs/press-releases. However, Inkscape releases are less frequent than most linux distro-releases so users have to make do with a few patches that have been introduced by the package maintainer. I think that a fixed time release <= 6 months would ensure that we produce a new upstream release in time for most linux distribution releases. A version number >=1.0 would also give the impression of a >="usable" product, and I think we're certainly at that stage already.

Please don't. YEAR.MONTH is really good enough.
