For the developers, the numbering scheme is much less important than
the distinction between a bugfix and a feature releases, IMO.
We should also not forget the users and the downstream package
maintainers, perhaps the numbering scheme means something to them. We
should consider that if we think to change the numbering.
In any case I think this is a very minor issue, so we should think
twice before starting another bike-shedding thread about that.
