It's all a marketing gimmick. Consider Sun's Solaris release numbering scheme, the Linux Kernel major number jump, or even the distro I use (Slackware) jumping 3 version numbers in a single release (4 → 7), I don't think software version numbers are relevant any longer. </jaded comment>

Given that, as the article notes, the marketing isn't using version numbers any more, how can you say that the version number scheme is a marketing gimmick?
