It does.
Up till now we always tried to keep binary compatibility for "bug fix"
releases (z in x.y.z) We have a few vendors of binary extensions (not
only Zend ...) which rely on the fact that they can provide one
extension build for the whole series - at least as long as their
extension aren't reaching too deep into the engine.
Oh, and I think this also affects our own Windows builds of PECL
stuff...
Yes, our development process and release structure might need some
updates, but version numbering might be the result from changes there,
not the beginning.

ps. I'm aware of the fact that we added some specific APIs in special
cases in bug fix releases before, but there's a difference between
adding APIs and breaking the ABI of existing, used, stuff.
