Like mostly all other OS packages, if you have a pure bugfix release, you add plN to the version number. There are various reasons of why we shouldn't move to this new versioning scheme, and no overwhelming reason to move to it. We already had a pretty long discussion about it, and while I'm well aware I didn't convince Jani, he sure as hell did not convince me either, and thus the status-quo should stay. I'm not sure why we're trying to 'fix' something that is already working.
