You might be able to get away with 2.001 == 2.0.01 and 2.1 == 2.1.00. :o)

On a serious note though, the versioning could be better, and I think
the current suggested version bump from Walter is a missed opportunity
to set things right.  To quote anther project leader though: "Let’s
face it - what’s the point of being in charge if you can’t pick the
bike shed color without holding a referendum on it?"
