I think his point with 1.4 was not specifically 1.4, but rather a
principle by which to name releases from here on out.

Perhaps we should be going out to the fourth place as a -current tack;
this would give us 1.6.[01].[0..99], which would be even better than
trying to figure out the logic of the numbers.
