Yes. I've gone through this thread and a quick copy'n'paste summary is:

* always increment the first number with major Debian version
* also increment the first number whenever it make sense for Tails
only (user-visible changes)
* second number: even for bugfix releases, odd for major ones
* add an extra 3rd number for emergency releases

And regarding milestones ("M" means "milestone" here):

* 2.0 => Sustainability_M1
* 3.0 => Hardening_M1

Shout if this summary doesn't reflect the consensus that was found.

Makes sense.

+ update release process doc, and possibly some internal documents.

I'll try to do that shortly after 1.4.1 is out, but no promise.
