RE: The CVE-10K Problem

["Baker, Dave" <bakerd@mitre.org>]

I tend to agree with most of the comments about preferring solution 4.
I think Pascal's suggestion of moving to 6 digits, rather than 5 is a
good idea.  As far as the sorting problem goes, if a change in the 
naming schema is made, it could add leading zeros to older four number
identifiers to keep the sorting correct.  I think that if enough notice
is given ahead of time, as with the Candidate identifier issue, that it
should be of minimum impact.
