Common parlance for the parts of a version number is:
    major.minor.micro
See:
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.python.versions.Version.html#__init__

Changing this terminology about Python releases to be more consistent 
with other projects would be a a subtle, but good shift towards a 
generally better attitude of the expectations of "minor" releases.
