They're only major / minor if you assume the intention is semantic versioning, rather than mirroring Java compatibility. But for building anything on top you could usually assume same or more things would break between "minor" versions. At least that's been my experience, even if NetBeans generally is pretty good with backward compatibility. A vote would be a good thing, but it's not necessarily a minor cosmetic issue. It could affect how / when certain changes go in. Or how compatibility for plugins or platform is defined and communicated. Best wishes, Neil
