FWIW, this ambiguity is why I tend to refer to Python feature releases
(X.Y) and maintenance releases (X.Y.Z) rather than major/minor
(incorrect, since Python version numbering is major.minor.micro) or
minor/micro (technically correct, but the major number changes so rarely
that calling Python feature releases minor releases usually confuses
people).
Cheers,
Nick.
