I think you're misunderstanding what the last number in 2.3.2, 2.3.4 etc.
means.  And everyone is using the word "version" to mean two different
things here.

Yes it is.

The *versions* of Rails supported are 2.3 and 3.0 (although José says 2.1
and 2.2 as well) - which is why both had a patch release with the security
patches.  In the proper sense of the word, "upper-case V" Version if you
like, 2.3.5 is not a *version* of Rails, it's patch release 5 of version
2.3.

2 = Major version
3. = Minor version
5 = Patch number


Cheers,
Jason
