+ The pattern used to be year followed by the month, but we
+ decided to change it to a more straightforward major/minor
+ system starting from 2.2. This is because the parallel
+ development on several branches made it infeasible to
+ classify the releases simply by their real release dates.
+ (Note that if you are making a port now, you don't have to
+ worry about old -current's; they are listed here just for
+ your reference.)
