Versioning software can be a bureaucratic nightmare.  It
can also be a swamp in which no-one knows exactly what it
means.  To avoid the latter without advocating the former
I think it is reasonable to have some idea of what the
core team presently hold as sufficient cause to change
each of the Major, the Minor and the Patch numbers for
RoR. Is there a guide to this criteria somewhere?
