I like the current numbering fine.. my suggestion is to keep the current
model, there are various reasons

1: it requires no effort
2: various things doesent break
3: naming isnt _THAT_ important

then you could increment the major number once something very important
happens, such as going to 2.8 when the removal of the BKL or something.
