Look at other DBMSes:
Oracle: 8i, 9i, 10g, 11g
Informix 9, 10, 11
MS SQL Server 7, 2000, 2005, 2008

note the lack of dotes (and even if they actually have dots, those are
minor versions).

is not only confusing but make people think we are somehow behind the
others... someone actually told me that Oracle is in version 11 we
only in version 8 so Oracle should have more features...
no that i follow that reasoning but...
