Either of those possibilities would be OK, but the first seems more natural to me. I'd see it as a modification of semantic versioning to conform to the expectations of our users and distributors.

How semver and gnome cycles will be made to fit neatly is TBD, but rest assured there will be a 2.x series in time for freezes and stabilized with it. 2.1.x will be it for 3.30. You could do semantic versioning (which has clear benefits) without odd minor versions (which is going to be super confusing), surely?
