    Or simpler:

     CVS version:  22.0
     Pretests:     22.0.1, 22.0.2, ...
     Initial release: 22.1
     Bug fixes:    22.2, 22.3
     Minor release = bug fixes

Although I like the idea of negative numbers for pretests best,
this plan is also simple and clear.  We could use it if the other
has some kind of problem.

    That's what I originally wrote and then I switched back to 22.0.50 and
    22.0.90 because 22.0 bug reports would otherwise be sent to gnu.emacs.bug
    rather than to emacs-pretest-bug ;-0

We can easily change the criteria in emacs-pretest-bug
for whatever version scheme we use.
