Releasing with KDE 2.2, GNOME 1, and a default of GCC 2.95 would be just
plain pathetic. So sometimes, version number milestones *are* important
for a release. Admittedly, most of the time they are not such a big
deal.
I guess what really matters here is having versions which aren't
ludicrously out of date. Specifically, if something was released
upstream over a year ago, and Debian releases with an even *older*
version (without good reason), that's not good at all.
