I don't really have that much against the original design. Sure, versions are often represented as a set of numbers rather than a decimal number. Having the version be a decimal number isn't incredibly hateful, only mildly annoying.
Having the version number be a decimal number is hateful as soon as you need to allow for more than 9 minor versions, or as soon as you have a need for a sub-version. By the time you get version numbers like "5.001" you're pretty deep into the hate zone and it's time to bring in Countermeasure.
