I believe they decided to do it sometime shortly after breezy was
released.  There was a whole bunch of 'chaos' with the 1.0.x security
updates with users asking questions and extentions being broken on
certain updates.

I'm glad they did it because it's definitely easier to explain to
people that "It's 1.5.0.4!" instead of saying "well, the security
fixes from 1.0.7 are included in this 1.0.4"...

Of course, the update management with 1.5 is much better too, so I'm
sure that helped.
