great

I'm not sure what sense of "shouldn't" you're using here; the lp docs
and ui certainly give the impression the milestone name is meant to be
selfcontained. If you use milestones like "0" or "1" that will not
work well in things like the bug task milestone chooser, which shows
the milestone name without the series. It would seem to require
rippling changes across lp and I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Obviously they won't always be unique, but the vast majority do have a
version number in the filename.
