Great, I believe that would be appreciated by many users.

Perhaps someone would need to sponsor Solar for making a "proper"
release. I guess he wants to, but doesn't ever get the time. I think we
should not use the term "Jumbo-1" for anything other than a "proper"
release by Solar.

The current bleeding-jumbo is based on latest core CVS, which is version
1.8.0.2 with minor fixes over released 1.8.
The most canonical name you could use might be the Git commit hash, or
just seven digits of it (that's kinda standard abbreviation). This would
mean if you build from latest commit as of this writing, it could be
called john-1.8-bleeding-jumbo-ef907c4. However, over time that hash
wont tell a "user" anything about sequential order. For example, another
release might be called john-1.8-bleeding-jumbo-154b96c but you can't
tell from the names which is newer.
So perhaps it's better to just name it by date, as in
"john-1.8-jumbo-20140914". If you chose this, please state what exact
commit was used in some README file in the archive.
That's just my two cents. Thanks!
