Really, that's nonsense and you know it. While (most) linux distributions have versions for major feature jumps they uniformly release interim bug fixes when they're done. Which is what Nokia's not doing.

If Nokia followed the pattern that major Linux distros do, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
