14 There will be no 5.3.1 likely. Numeration scheme is changed from 5.x
15 series: what was middle version is now major, what was minor is now
16 middle. So 5.3 is a patch version of 5.0 the same as 4.9.3 is a
17 patch version of 4.9.0.

20 I really dislike this version race started mostly by chrome and
21 systemd, but more and more software strives now for a high
22 increment rate of major version. I wonder what they will do when
23 large numbers like 1000 or 10000 will be reached.
