Vivek, we could, but the main idea is that we repair our versioning system and make clear how we are actually dealing with our current system, which is major - new , possibly breaking features minor - improvements and enhancements tiny - urgent (security) fixes
and in addition we would go to 20 to indicate that is the follower of 4.19 not of 4. Someone may implement a new cloudstack (cloudstack5 for instance) but this would not have anything to do with our current versioning system.
