Uhm no, that's wrong actually. The decision about the version number is not anywhere near the jurisdiction of the release master, let alone the version of the next release.

If the release master isn't allowed to decide that, why are you?

Again, please go back to the discussion about 'release master'. Almost by definition, it has nothing to do with him. As for the version numbers - that's the status-quo, it has been for years, and I don't recall an overwhelming decision to change it. I strongly object to changing it, for reasons I've stated more than enough times in the past. I also discussed this with Stig a while ago, and we did decide to release 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, for very specific key changes (binary API breakage and register_global default change, respectively), but if it gave the impression that we switched to a different versioning scheme, it's wrong. 2nd digit changes are reserved for big changes in PHP.
