[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH v2] news.py: Check only for major version when parsing

[Alexander Berntsen]

Only check the major version of news items, as GLEP 42 specifies an
upgrade path for them. Future revisions to news item formats may yield
minor number increments. GLEP 42 further ensures that only
forwards-compatible changes may incur, as incompatible changes demand a
major version increment.
