Joomla version numbers

Details

I had to consult the Wikipedia for more information on the Joomla versions recently to clear up a few things.

I've obviously missed a few things as I was expecting 1.8 to be the next release but I started to see some talk of version 2.5.

There were some proposals and a vote but both options still don't seem to fit in with my view on version numbering. I always thought the first number should be a major release, the second number a minor release and the third number a bug fix. It seems daft that you should end up having a vote to try and make sense of the confusing numbers as it should really have been quite simple.
