Well, in theory we could resume the old numbering scheme again but keep the current development model, in effect just inflating the version numbers by one level:
2.6.28-rc1 -> 2.7.0 2.6.28-rc2 -> 2.7.1 2.6.28 -> 2.8.0 (perfect -- I've heard people informally call it the two-eight release in the past instead of two-six-twenty-eight) 2.6.28.1 -> 2.8.1 2.6.29-rc1 -> 2.9.0 2.6.29 -> 2.10.0 or 3.0.0 (depending on your taste)
This would be entirely consistent with how things have been since 1.0, except that we have not had a 2.odd release in a long time.
