Hello
This is just my opinion on this matter.

I suggest one of the above two.
It would fit the standard version numbering scheme as the
development version should be named 2.0 when it is done,
as (I understand at least, it is more or less a total rewrite).
I change major versions when it is no longer backwards compatible
in some major way (new database format without good automatic transition
or similar).
MAJOR.MINOR.BUGFIX
We have major version 1
Minor version 29
and bugfix version 1.
If the new version contain new features it should be
named 1.30 or 1.30.0

If it is a bugfix release then I suggest 1.29.1

If you can keep the patches compatible with 2.4 kernel
that is great but not truely necessary. It would be nice
if the util-vserver tool is backwards compatible as
people do not change kernel on production servers that
much. At least I dont. On the other hand I do not have
many produciton servers anymore as I have switched job. :)
