This essentially makes release numbers meaningless, which seems to be the way things are going...
There is a, perhaps, unintended consequence. The plugins I support have continued to work, and be available in the plugin manager, through all of 12.x without any effort on my part. The plugins are keyed to a major release number; so IIUC, this release numbering proposal requires each plugin maintainer to modify the update-center metadata on every release (PITA).
