I also thought about this.

I propose to add another minor version number: Let us set it to 5.11.1
now.  After the release of Emacs 21.4, increase it again to 5.11.2 and
so on, so that each Emacs release also has a different Gnus version
(unless there are no changes in the Gnus code and manuals, maybe).

Rationale: In Emacs 21.1-21.3 all Gnus versions had 5.9 although the
Gnus version had significant differences.
E.g. `mm-coding-system-priorities' has been introduced in Emacs 21.2.
I don't remember how often I typed "if you have Gnus 5.9 that comes
with Emacs 21.2 or later you can set `mm-coding-system-priorities'
...".

Additionally, each time a new Emacs version is released, we could
release an unbundled Gnus version from the Gnus v5-10 branch.
Assuming that Gnus in Emacs' CVS and the Gnus v5-10 branch in sync, of
course.  Lars, WDYT?

Bye, Reiner.
