Bug 618631 does this, sort of. It hasn't had any action lately, so you may have to pick up the pieces.
With regard to the actual number, what version was the last beta we put out? Should we not be changing major numbers (is that the 1 or the 8?) since we've broken everything since our last release? I think we previously were somehow tied to Gecko version numbers (?); are you proposing breaking away from this?
