The information whether a release is a bugfix is in etc/NEWS, right at the beginning. So if you need to know this, you can find the info. As for using X.Y.Z version numbers, I don't mind, but some code in Emacs needs to be changed for this to work: currently, any version with 3 numbers is assumed to be a pretest by emacsbug.el and maybe other places. Also, loadup.el bumps up the 3rd version number automatically each time you rebuild the binary. [Personally, I don't see what's the fuss about the version numbering (other packages, such as Texinfo, do the same as Emacs), but that's just me.]
