Am I parsing this right? Are we adding a place to the version number to denote 'this change is in the 2s'?

So we went from v0 to v10, then to v11, then v15, and so on?

Just speculating. They may be treating versions like decimal fractions. Thus, 7.16 < 7.2. But I can't say that this is the best place to use that concept.
