Think about what you've just said. Patch level version changes are
things like 2.5.43 to 2.5.44 or 2.4.19 to 2.4.20.
You are saying that we shouldn't change any interfaces between (eg)
2.5.43 and 2.5.44, but we should change every interface we want to
change between 2.4.15 and 2.5.0.
Put very simply yes . x.odd-number.y IS for DEVELOPEMENT ,
x.even-number.y IS for Stability .
If people can not understand that I feel sorry for them .
