Note that there is *no* change to *release* format strings. *only* to
intermediate format strings.

So - we should:
 - pin existing stable branches (so their intermediate version
behaviour stays the same)
 - get this improvement into a pbr release now, so that I series
intermediate version numbers will be better

IMO anyhow.

pbr has significant issues with dependencies due to its installation
in the early bootstrap stage of setup.py. So, it will be in pbr.
