Why don't we just drop the leading 0. in version numbers? AFAICT that field will never be used anyways. The versions would still be the same thing and have the same meaning, just that they wouldn't have the 0. in front of it.

It will be used when we reach 1.0. There's still a long way to go before we get there.

well based on this email: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-October/011323.html (and some of the stuff that follows), it looks like Bitcoin Core will never reach 1.0.

Like other open source software, we use a standard
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCHversioning scheme. Not worth the bother to change this.[But I guess for marketing reasons you can freely drop the 0. Just don't expect changes in the software for this.]
