Well, I for one am not confused about it.  4u3, 4.3, same difference to my 
mind.  But obviously there are people who do have some confusion over it.  I 
guess it boils down to a simple choice: spend a few minutes making the 
version numbers align with upstream (twiddling a few bits here and there) or 
writing an article/page on why this is the way it's done that takes more 
time, requires more work, uses more space, and still has to be referred to 
every time someone asks this question.  It's all a matter of which is more 
work to the people doing the work.  :-)  I don't care either way, as it's 
just XOR'ing the release with 006B00. :-)
