Major KDE update was in time of Fedora 9, so it's not an issue

And this it the first problem - we should not call major, minor, bugfix release
because it doesn't mean the same for every each app out in the wild!!!
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.
(KDE versioning is X.Y.Z where X is major, Y is minor and Z is bugfix
release).
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 4.3.0 released
/.../ KDE 4.3 is the latest major release in the KDE 4 series /.../
KDE standard releases,
http://en.wikipedia.or/wiki/KDE#Standard_releases
There are two main types of releases, major releases and maintenance
releases.
Major releases (with two version numbers, for example 3.5) contain
new features.
