WordPress 2.7 is a "major" release. Next will be 2.8, followed by 2.9,

So, Wordpress's first two version numbers are decimal. Get used to it.
No disrespect intended to Matt, but... it's goofy! First number for
major upgrades. 2.9 -> 2.10 -> 2.11 --big one--> 3.0
That's not "version inflation", it's **information** -- "This is a
Major Upgrade, not just an update. Significant changes to User
Interface and Functionality beyond this point."
I think 2.7 qualifies. Treating the first 2 digits as a false decimal
flies in the face of pretty much any other software out there. (Cue
people coming up with examples of software that does it anyway in
3...2...1...)
That being said:
While it may have been better to make this 3.0, that decision should
have been made a while ago. We're too close to release to change
versions now. Should have had this discussion two months ago.
Sincerely,
Stephen
