I'm not 100% about this, but I was once told because 1.2 took a while to
come out and because it had some bigger changes, people felt it was more
like a 2.0 release. I'll also go on to assert() that by this reasoning,
the real 1.3 can be viewed as 2.1.

I sure hope I'm not spreading misinformation with this post. If so, please
correct me. My on-again/off-again relationship with Java has no doubt left
me with several misconceptions.
