+1 for C

Hi Devs,
Last database migrator is very old now, it was on revision 15428 of our SVN
repository.
The rules at that time was to use the revision number of the SVN commit for
the database version.
So our database is currently in version 15428.
Since we have no more revision number in Git, and that the database version
should be an integer, we need to vote a new convention:
A) continue from where we are, incrementing by one, so next version will be
15428
B) use 16000, or another round number for next revision and increments by
one for next version
C) use a mix with the current XWiki version, so next will be 32000, and we
have room for 1000 versions during the 3.2 releases.
Personally, since database changes are really rare, since we were already
jumping, and since there is plenty of room for number, I prefer meaning
full number and I prefer C. The major advantage is that the number is in the
database, so if you have a db dump, you may quickly know what is the oldest
version this dump is compatible with without needing some reference list.
So my +1 for C.
