I am wondering why it appears that GCC has started drastically raising its major version number for minor changes, instead of spending several years on version 3 and 4. 4.0.1, 4.1.1 and 4.12, 4.2.3, 4.3.2, 4.4.5, up through 4.7.0, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, the 4.8 and 4.9 releases, then version 5.1 and talking about version 6. Little changes should be reflected in minor version and bugfix numbers, not major version jumps.
