This is really out of our hands I guess. The current set of active developers
is full or work beyond imagination, so I don't expect any of them to make
a patch release unless there is a contract backing it (we already have our
hands full with x and y in x.y.z).

That said, the GeoMajas developers expressed an interest in having
releases that only include bug fixes. If they are up to take the patches
they deem interesting, backport them to a tag/branch, and make a release
out of that, well... I'm certainly not going to complain :-)

As for naming... 8.1 or 8.1.0... hum... pretty much the same to me.
I'm good with either of them.

Cheers
Andrea
