------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 The current release procedure for Ooni would benefit from describing the
 versioning scheme.  This should serve two purposes:

 * users can make decisions about installation and upgrade.  For example,
 they may choose to *not install* a new release if they prefer to only
 upgrade to security fixes or "stable" releases.
 * if a new Ooni dev comes along and makes a new release, they will not
 violate the expectations of users.

 Keep in mind there are at least two categories of "user": probe operators
 and backend service providers.

 As a bonus, the versioning scheme should also be described in each
 package's own documentation, or perhaps those docs should link to a single
 source of truth in the spec repository.
