Many Linux distros has some reason why it is not numbered like that. But Maemo doesn't have any reason why not right now.

Actually it doesn't give any pressure at all. They can skip numbers or add RC2 or SP2 or .01 or something to version number or skip some version numbers if needed.

That is true, but major and minor version number go bigger any way. So why not synchronize Maemo version numbering to that at least from 6.1 to some version that not possible. What would be reason that it had to stop?
