That was still the case last time Chris and I discussed it, and I see
no reason (short of marketing fiat) to change it.  We just have to be
careful to make sure people realize that a higher middle number
doesn't always mean a more stable release, due to the minimal testing
of net releases.

The three-number version number will add some sanity to the version
numbering issues, too.
