#2 and #3 don't really make sense between OSes, and I'd argue that they

and minor numbers of the kernel (e.g. 2 and 6 or 3 and 0), but that's
pretty useless on Linux, given that they don't change very often. At
this point, there would only really be two options: 2.6 and 3.0. And I
don't know how major and minor could be applied to OS X or FreeBSD.
In Mac OS X you have three version numbers, for example: 10.6.8. Or at
least two, don't know if I would call the first one a version number. I
mean, Mac OS 9 and Mac OS 10 is two completely different operating systems.
Well, since the OS is Mac OS X, not Mac OS (at least so far as versioning in D
goes), then presumably 10.6.8 would have the major number 6 and the minor
number 8.

Exactly.
