I disagree with your objection.
Looking from the expressiveness point of view, +nmuX is exactly the same
as the current convention. In addition, it has the advantage of being
clearer, since it does explicitly refer to the "nmu", without needing
eye parsing of dots which also appear elsewhere in version numbers.
Can you please point (at least me) to where you, or anybody else,
explained the reasons of the objection?
Cheers.
