Version labeling is out of control

One funny versioning example that has bothered me for a while are Mozilla Firefox & Thunderbird - why the heck do they name their bugfixes as the 4th digit, a'la 2.0.0.14, even when some of the bugfixes are quite major, as they express it. Until 1.0 versioning was quite OK, but after that it got messed up - 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.0.0.1, 3.0..
