Good point. So, I guess, another way to do this — especially if we like
the "it's a big batched update" approach rather than having split
lifecycles — would be to not call 'em .0 and .1 but keep to the integer
version numbers released in June and call the update bundle some
arbitrary name like "November Update".

Or we could just use .a and .b instead of .0 and .1. Or .j and .n for
June and November.
