It looks like Editions are intended to be (Gregorian) years. If 
that is the case, the DIP should explicitly say that. I like the 
idea, but it limits us to making a new edition at most once per 
year. That might sound like a reasonable assumption, but it may 
fail occasionally, e.g. if regressions are found and fixed. It 
could be worth having a monthly or even a weekly resolution in 
Editions, i.e. make edition IDs of the form `YYYY-MM` or 
`YYYY-WW` where `WW` is the number of the week of the year 
(ranging between 1 and 53).
