that distros use -X as their packaging versions doesn't matter. We can use:
2014.06-1
and distros can turn it into:
2014.06-1-2-distro-5

what matters is that the version number increases. And that's still the case.

What we should consider when using such a numbering scheme is that it also 
works with beta releases of Plasma Next. If we kind of stick to what we use 
today it could be.
2014.06-90 for the beta release of Plasma Next with the last stable release 
having been in June 2014.

Cheers
Martin
