For me its:
2.3.x = bugfixes
2.4 = 2.3.x + new features ( compatible)
3.0 = incompatible changes
addition: 3.0 = incompatible changes, big new features
+1, thats absolutely my take, and my understanding about what is
common sense in the industry
And I don't think its only a number. It is a means of communication to
the user base.

When I say that "it is only a number" and I don't care of the "number" I
mean *NOW* that we are planning a ROADMAP I don't care too much of the
numbers. I agree that the number is really important for a release but I
think we could simply decide the right number for our marketing purposes
just before releasing it. Either way we need a way to talk each others
about the different roadmaps/branches, so I thought at the "next-minor",
"next-major" labels... I'm trying to reduce the number of things to be
discussed now to the minimum so to increase the probability that we come
to some agreement on what to do.
If anyone want to start a proposal for a new numbering, I suggest to do
it as a separated thread, and I will add my ideas and I will vote about
it. I already said that I'm not against the numbering proposed by
Vincenzo (or your), and we discussed few times about the current 2.3 in
terms of 3.0: we finally decided to use the 2.3 number. I think we
should have no worry to make proposals and cast our votes. You know I
really used few -1 in past, so don't think that every time I have a
different idea it means I will veto it. I usually say "I would probably
veto this" if I think I will do that and when I say "I don't agree / I
have a different idea" it means that I will probably vote -0 and propose
something alternative. I don't start that proposal now because I already
wrote 2 proposals that are awaiting answers or actions by the people
with karma so I don't want to put too many things in the in-progress list.
