It only looks that way at present because we are in transition. Once we
hit 1.2.x we will be completely in the new development plan. Every
release that doesn't end in "pre" will be stable irrespective of whether
there are odd or even numbers.

If it's labelled as 1.1.5cvs it will be released as 1.1.5. That's just a
tag for the revision not the actual rcs/cvs revision number of any given
file. When we decide to release 1.2 then the cvs version number will be
1.2cvs or more probably 1.2.1cvs.
I can see you might be trying to do logical mapping between schemes but
that gets far too confusing. Much easier to just look at the new numbers.
