Note systemd is not strictly single digit - their stable releases have
an extra digit.
And we could do the same.
Our current version number scheme works fine. If people want to
blindly
assume semantics that don't exist & are documented to not exists directly
on our download page, that's not something for us to fix.
Alright, I'm clearly the only one who thinks that this is something
that could be improved upon, so I'll duly shut up now :)
