Having a full year in there means more typing for everyone
A bit, yeah. On the other hand, I think it would make it even
clearer that the release schedule is entirely time-based.
and I think skipping version numbers would actually be
confusing, as it could people to think there was a missing
release
Think Ubuntu - they always have a six month gap between
releases, but I've yet to hear anyone complain about that.
