One exeption would be GNU Emacs 22: 1984, but according to Wikipedia:
"Versions 2 to 12 never existed. Earlier versions of GNU Emacs
had been numbered "1.x.x", but sometime after version 1.12 the
decision was made to drop the "1", as it was thought the major
number would never change."
So you can think of Emacs 22 as being 1.22.
