I think we can push a "v3.6dev" tag to master, it should reference 
a commit after the release-3.5 branch-point.

The first 3.6 release would be something like "v3.6.0alpha", possibly 
adding "v3.6.0alpha1", and subsequent "v3.6.0beta" + "N".

Comparing versions can be done in the RPM-way like this:

    $ rpmdev-vercmp 3.6dev 3.6.0alpha1
    0:3.6.0alpha1-None is newer

When branching release-3.6, we'll need a tag for the master branch 
again, maybe "v3.7dev"?

HTH,
