Marcy said we've all been known to skip one in the middle now and then. I took well-deserved heat for skipping a few more than one... going from VM/ESA 2.4.0 directly to z/VM 5.1.0.
.Off the top of my head, perhaps forgetting some releases, we skipped z/VM 3.1, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4. Indeed, VM is really nice to you in that way!
