I'm not talking about streamlining the version numbers. The branch
"hildon-2-0" would used for the major/wider "Hildon 2.0" release in each
module. Call it "the current stable code branch". Trunk would be used
for new features development for future major released. The proposed tag
names standard would be used for upstream tags in each module.

Basicaly, what I'm proposing is that we use the GNOME Way(tm). Have a
look at this page for more detailed info:
