Admittedly I am a novice in much of the reasoning about version changes 
but have long wondered why they bother when much of the new version 
could be just another update. Golly we update kernels and core apps with 
regularity.
When it gets serious like moving from ext4 to btrfs or what ever it's 
called, now that would require version change but most version changes 
so far seem to be just updates.
I have no wish to create a flame war or cop derogatory comment, my few 
cents worth is based on observation not study of code.
