Craig Russell commented on JDO-365:
-----------------------------------

Here's a proposal for eliding the trailing minor and update releases.

The community first decides on the name of the release. The format
of the name is <spec-number>.<major>.<minor>.<update>. Trailing <update>
and <minor> numbers are elided. The spec-number       
is either 1 for JDO 1 or 2 for JDO 2. The major number might change for
a new JSR. The minor number would change for a specification revision
approved by the JCP via specification maintenance review. The update number
can be used for changes that do not need a maintenance review and do
not change the interfaces.
