It's only an error if _every_ monthly release has a major new
feature or incompatible change.  Otherwise we're still using
the three part numbering system for monthly releases, so it's 
more likely to be:

    january  2.0
    february 2.0.1
    march    2.0.2
    april    2.1.0  # major feature or deprecation
    may      2.1.1
    june     2.2.0  # major feature or deprecation
    july     2.5
