In this case you don't even need the 2nd digit...
Btw, -1 for the idea, as it would remove the possibility to tell that a new
major release incrementing the 1st digit of version number brings more
enhancement than normal major releases incrementing the 1st digit. This was
the case for 9.0, helping people in remembering that streaming replication
has been introduced from 9.x series.
