Everyone, cf. Linux, who used to operate such a strategy has now
stopped. A release is a release and should be releasable. Finding
problems in a release is natural which is why the maj.min.bug release
numbering is so popular. The issue here is that the releases should be
numbered this way always so as to make a monotonic increasing sequence.

Thus 2.063 should have been numbered 2.63.0.
