Not really.

x.y seems to be saying it is a milestone (major release) and we all
have got used to that convention.

While I agree with all these points, I feel calling the release itself
as x.y.0 may be distracting the convention which is being followed so
far.
So, it is -1 from me.

In the mailing list we can say that use the 'latest' of python 2.x
version or 'latest' of python 3.x version and on the web-pages,
pointers can be properly set to the correct version.
