You do -- they are used for minor releases, i.e. 10.1 would be a bugfix release for 10.0. If we continue using the current numbering scheme, 10.1 would be the major version after 10.0.
Sorry for the confusion. I meant that the 2nd digit would not be necessary when identifying a given major release, so I just didn't get the meaning of what Craig said. As you say, you would still need the 2nd digit for minor releases.
