Perhaps one-for-all VERSION file would be better to maintain the number.

Yes.

IMO, version should always have X.Y.Z  format, without
any suffixes like -dev, etc.

AFAIK, typical practice is that after releasing X.Y.Z,
development branch bumps to X.Y+1.Z.

Why not bump to 4.10.0?
It wouldn't mean a promise to version next release as 4.10.0.
It would just mean the master is ahead of release.
If master introduces incompatible API, it may become 5.0.0,
it is unknown.
