See bug 65289 for reasoning on using this everywhere. This is the sub bug/dependent task for modifying our deployment tooling to support this.
Relative python awesomeness: there is a python module that support the semantic versioning spec. Pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/semantic_version/ Doc: http://pythonhosted.org/semantic_version/ I would myself drop the MediaWiki version entirely in favor of year/week number or something along those lines. Ie 2014-w26, shorter and easier to understand. But that is another debate.
