Comment (by hinder):
We have to have a tag representing what ends up in the tarball, as Erik said. As such, we know exactly what is there. Since dates are longer than version numbers, and also potentially cause problems if we want to have more than one version in a given day (e.g. we tag, release, realise we messed up, and then release again a few hours later), I vote for version numbers. That is also the usual way that software is distributed, not with dates. What sorts of names are we talking about for the tarballs? einsteintoolkit-2012-11-Oersted-1.tar.gz, for example?
