Well, IIRC, we bumped the first level from 1 to 2 when we switched from
Gnome 1 to Gnome 2. So "historically" it is may be a Framework version.

Gnome 2 support may end some time, so that we will be forced to change
the framework (like last time ...). This could trigger the next first
level version bump. However, this would not feel very good, to be forced
by external dependencies.

On the other hand, Linux recently decided that version number don't have
any meaning at all. They change the first level number when Linus feels
like changing it ...

  Herbert.
