Okay, perhaps this is a European view, but I never confused Postfix
2.1 with 2.10. Perhaps because here it would be 2,1 and 2,10 if they
were real numbers? Nevertheless I'm under the impression that most
people know that version numbers are not "real" numbers.
Also I don't like the whole "major version" inflation done by most
other products today.
I would suggest:
2.10.0
2.10.1 <- Bugfixes
2.11.0 <- New feature(s)
2.11.1 <- Bugfixes
...
3.0.0 <- MAJOR changes
Fix things in the point releases, add new features in the minor number
releases. Change to 3.x for major changes which are not backwards
compatible.

Sebastian
