version numbers

[kjstol]

I was doing a first read of the release managers' guide as preparation of my
first release (eek!), and at the end I noticed the following:

[..]
 - June 16, 2009     - 1.3   - whiteknight
 - July 21, 2009     - 1.5   - cotto
[...]

Now, I know that there's been discussion about releases and their version
numbers (I attended it!), but somehow the jump from 1.3 to 1.5 seems
slightly weird. I'm all fine with it, but for outsiders it just seems weird;
that's my main concern. Now, if the explanation is, that we're doing monthly
releases that increment the minor release number by 1 each time, but each 6
months (except first time, which is 3 months) we go to the next x.0 or x.5,
then that's fine, but it should be made clear. People will be confused if
everytime we skip one or two minor releases (to go to the .0 or .5 release).

just a thought,
kjs
