Stop putting so much stock in version numbers?
That's not how version numbers work.
Vanity version numbering is a thing.
Version numbers are officially out of control.
Not just a name, a version number. -_-
Odd naming scheme, aren't the version numbers supposed to increase?

The version number increments by 1 every 6 months. What is so nightmarish about that?
there are not enough new features to deserve such an increase in the release number. you want numbers inflation like Chrome or Firefox?
