That's a bit like the naming scheme Emacs had between version 1 and 18,
isn't it?
The numbering doesn't really matter, but I think it was kinda nice when
the major version number was only bumped on really big-ish transitions.
(I.e., mule, utf8, static binding...)
But, of course, the next Emacs release has eww, and that's a major
thing. >"?
