This has sat in my queue long enough that we can say it is likely I will never look at it. I do not consider it useful as there is no standard that says 5.4.0 -> 6.0.0 is more major than 5.4.0 -> 5.5.0. It really depends on the software being packaged. So I do not find the extra colour that useful. I am open for arguments to be made to counter my opinion.
