No need to reroll just for this alone, but back then, a non-zero third component did not mean they are maintenance releases (e.g., v1.5.3.3 was the third maintenance update for the v1.5.3 series) and v1.6.0 _was_ a departure, a breaking change from the v1.5.x series. It is more recent tradition that we only use three numbers. I'd strike the whole "In retrospect" comment if I were writing this. > +to see the message and its surrounding discussion.
