Not at all. I am using version 7.15.4 of curl, 0.995 of cocom, 6.8.99.901
of X11, 1.11.22 of cvs, 1.18.1 of groff, and 3.22-10 of procmail, to
pick a few salient examples. ("-10" means that it is the tenth distro
patch to the upstream release 3.22.) My own library, TagSoup, has had
the following released version numbers: 0.8, 0.9, 0.9.1 through 0.9.7,
0.10.1, 0.10.2, 1.0rc1 through 1.0rc9, 1.0, 1.0.1 through 1.0.5, 1.1,
1.1.1 through 1.1.3.
For that matter, we are now discussing version 5.94 of RnRS, though I
admit that understanding this as 5.9.4 wouldn't be unreasonable.
