The pattern is the year followed by the month.
The pattern used to be year followed by the month, but we
decided to change it to a more straightforward major/minor
system starting from 2.2. This is because the parallel
development on several branches made it infeasible to
classify the releases simply by their real release dates.
(Note that if you are making a port now, you don't have to
worry about old -current's; they are listed here just for
your reference.)
