There's never been a time when all point releases had a new codename. Eclair covered 2.0 and 2.1. Honeycomb covered 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2. I don't see any evidence they've changed their naming practices.

4.0 to 4.1 was a jump from ICS to JB, but that was an exception.

Except for 2.1 -> 2.2 (Froyo) -> 2.3 (Gingerbread). So, not very exceptional.
