Agreed.

Well, the versions are mentioned on the metaserver, and I think they
raise a false expectance of compatibility.  So I agree with
Mattias Anderson but I would prefer to go further: use

  freeciv-1.8p2sep06

for CVS versions created on Sep, 6.  It will be easy to modify the
version string automatically, and the chance of unexpected
incompatibilities is reduced.
