No reason, because as everybody knows software version numbers are
arbitrary, but we did do 2.0 to 2.1 last year. I think my gut instinct
is that we'd imply minor updates to a stable version by saying 3.0.x,
and since we don't really have stable versus development versions in
that sense, we avoid it.
