Also as I was maintaining the release notes for "1.0.5", I started
noticing that we have a fairly extensive list of features/changes for
a microrelease, particularly for such a late microrelease:
http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/milestone/1.0.5
I would expect most users to expect substantially less changes between
1.0.4 and 1.0.5 than between 1.0.0 and 1.0.2 (or 1.0.3).

This numbering thing is really all about making sure we don't violate
our user's expectations.
