The choice of version number of somewhat arbitrary. There were several iterations of numbering scheme before we settled on this one. For reference: https://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/fzty4ymric7waw2s https://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/isa6m53zv6rugebb 10.1.x vs 10.5.x wasn't explicitly discussed (that I can recall or can find). Historically (5.5.x and 8.5.x) we have used the x.5.y releases to indicate a major refactoring and discontinuing support for x.0.y releases. That is slightly different from what is proposed for 10.0.x and 10.1.x.
