Well, maybe I see it too simply, but the March and September releases are in line with the JDK releases, hence these are major releases, call them what you will, 11, 11.0, or whatever, I don't mind or see much difference, and then there are two minor releases in between, depending on whether we feel we need them or not, i.e., 11.1 and 12.1, with new features, though not brand new support for a JDK release, like 11 and 12 (or 11.0 and 12.0).
