I might have found a bug in our new version numbering scheme...

We're saying, regarding the second number, "odd = major" and "even =
minor". But at the same time "2.0 = major" (or actually super major).
But zero is even [1].

Maybe we should consider using "even = minor" and "odd = major" instead.
