I agree with Ludovic. The patch-level is conceptually part of the
version.
We have a fair bit of program logic, APIs, and user interface elements
that assume that there's only one 'version' field. All of those would
need to be changed to support an additional 'patch-level' field. Doing
all of that work would require a compelling argument. I don't see one.
