         Well, at least patchlevels should be only bug fixes of
releases
 considered stable and distributed as such. 
Which can break binary compatibility for modules, which is why we may
need to do this in the future anyway? Personally I really do not see
the difference between 20.3 vs 20.4 (or 19.15 vs 19.16) and 21.1.2
and 21.1.5

...
 For the rest, the fact that we use
 the /minor/ version number to denote a patchlevel only adds to the confusion! 
Huh?

21.1.2

21 = major
1 = minor
2 = patch level
