Yes, it can get confusing. I think it was Kevin Kofler who suggested to
talk about "feature releases" vs. "bugfix releases" instead
to avoid confusion.

I disagree. According to kde.org and wikipedia, X.Y is called a major
release, and Z is maintainance update. A few quotes:

KDE 4.3.0 announcement, http://www.kde.org/

KDE standard releases, http://en.wikipedia.or/wiki/KDE#Standard_releases
