Overall I think it is a good idea.

My only suggestion would be to start with a lower number, 60 maybe, so you
have some additional room to play with.  I probably would wait to move to
the 80+ range until there is a formal alpha or beta release schedule.

Starting with a lower number will give you some room just in case you
decide to have more fine-grained numbering.  If you start with 80 now, it
would be harder later to decide to do weekly snapshots, for example.  Not
that you necessarily would do that, my point is just that a lower starting
number gives you more flexibility to change your plans later.
