I always wondered why DMD releases have a 0 in their minor
version number -- surely 2.068 is the same as 2.68? Why then
retain the zero?
We keep trying to get people to understand the importance of a
sane version scheme but it always falls on deaf ears. Even
Walter considers this bikeshedding.

How is whether there's a 0 before the 68 anything but
bikeshedding? It's the same number either way, it sorts better
as-is, and it would be inconsistent of us to change now. Changing
how the overall numbering scheme works might make sense, but
simply removing the 0 wouldn't gain us anything as far as I can
see.
