Proposal change description for version numbers

Hi all,

in preparing the road map, I noticed that in tdelibs/tdecore/tdeversion.h are 
the instructions for the version numbers different from the way we intended. 
My proposal to change the description as follows:


AS IS:
======

/*
    R <ABI VERSION> . <BUGFIX REVISION> . <SECURITY PATCHLEVEL>
    Security patchlevel is not present on initial release
    It is added on the first security release, starting with ".a"
    ".a" would correspond to a TDE_VERSION_RELEASE of 1, ".b" would be 2, etc.
    A new bugfix revision resets the security level
    A new ABI version resets both the bugfix revision and the security level
*/


CHANGE TO:
==========

/*
    R <ABI VERSION> . <FEATURE REVISION> . <BUG AND SECURITY PATCH LEVEL>
    Initial release is always R<ABI VERSION>.0.0.
    BUG AND SECURITY PATCH LEVEL is always updated with a point release.
    FEATURE REVISION is updated when new features are introduced or existing
    features are significantly updated. A FEATURE REVISION release does NOT 
include ABI changes.
    A new FEATURE REVISION level always resets the BUG AND SECURITY PATCH 
LEVEL.
    A new ABI version resets both the FEATURE REVISION level and BUG AND 
SECURITY PATCH LEVEL.
*/


What is your opinion?
