Yeah, something we have to figure out. My thinking (and I'm undecided on which 
way to go there):

- If we only increase version numbers for the things that actually get feature  
  
  updates, we might create confusion as to what fits together

- If we keep all numbers consistent (basically our current release policy -- 
all get the same number), people might misunderstand, distros might not dare 
upgrading to, for example 4.12 because they want to ship long-term-maintained 
code.

Input, especially from distros is most welcome to fledge this out futher.

Cheers,
