Quoting myself: "Many users think "major version bump" is synonymous with "significant new features"." If you agree with that (you're free not to), then it's not a huge leap to negate that statement: "Many users think "minor version bump" is synonymous with "no significant new features"." And that gives you a good reason to periodically increment the major version number.
