Funny Canon versioning enumeration
2

I am in the software development business and normally the software versions are numbered as follows:

X.Y.Z

where

X = big changes, often redefining the user interface, often accompanied with a new purchase contract

Y = smaller changes but significant, in terms of added features to the existing version; usually coming for free

Z = bug fixing.

What Canon seems to do is to ignore X, Z and use Y for whatever.
