as suggested by Sebastian, maybe the next stable
version with security
fixes should be named 2.9.0.1.
Is it too late, now that 2.9.1-rc1 has been released? I think it would
be better to name it 2.9.0.1.
Is the intention to distinguish between non-critical and critical bug fixes
by using the 3rd versus 4th version field? (I have no preference. I'm just
looking for clarification on how to interpret the resulting version number.)
a.b.c.d
increase in d has smallest changes. used mainly for security or urgent
fixes - make it easy for admins to update, by keep the changelog as
small as possible
increase in c is a mature bugfix release, possible with noticeable changes
increase in b introduces new features and behaviors
