True.  Incrementing minor suggests production of a branch and that 
there may be a later bug-fix release from that branch which would 
increment micro.  There are various implications suggested by the 
numbering strategy.  These implications could result in more 
maintenance effort.  They may also result in OS distribution 
maintainers not picking up the update since the increment to minor 
makes the release seem more major than it actually is.
