When I posted my previous comment about versions numbers I had not yet
noticed the discussion about it here.  But version numbers are a pet
peeve of mine so watch out!

I can't suggest strongly enough that whole numbers separated by dots
is the cleanest solution available.  Version numbers are not floating
point numbers.  Especially evident when looking at 2.2.18 and 5.6.1
style versions.

Okay, let's try this the hard way.  Let's count them out.

  2.2
  2.3
  2.4
  2.5
  2.6
  2.7
  2.8
  2.9
  2.10
  2.11
  2.12
  2.13
  2.14

Gosh, 2.2 _is_ significantly older than 2.14.  Who would have guessed?
