our release number then ...

Yeh - but the problem is, that most people don't read the release notes
(and sometimes even can't read because they're fetching the release
directly from the FTP or whatever).

Thats, what is intended. Because there are major changes between every
stable GIMP version, the package name should reflect this as well.
