If you use such versioning in the UI, please don't put it in the UA 
string shown to websites. The nice thing about the new version numbers 
is that it changes the same way each time. Web developers doing bad 
sniffing will be hit by their bug every six weeks, which will more 
likely make them want to fix it. If they are only hit by their bug next 
year in January, they more likely end up working around it hitting the 
same bug next year.
