v3.26.0
Does anyone here happen to know what's going on here? As best I can tell, they're simultaneously supporting 3 major versions while keeping their minor and patch versions in lockstep, and then having one major version be implicit?
I can almost imagine a scenario where they started out with just major and minor version and then realized they wanted to make breaking changes, which led them down the path of adding a third separate number to the versions, but if they already were going down the path of assuming "wider" versions are newer , why not just stop using version numbers with only major-minor and instead just add a 0 or 1 to the front of all of the continuations of that branch? Also, why synchronize every single minor and patch version between all three major versions? I can understand why it might be useful to continue providing support for multiple major versions at the same time, but I'd expect that _sometimes_ there might be a bug or something in only one of them, and pushing out a release of the other two that don't contain any changes would be pretty strange.
