Probably a dumb question: Why the jump from 3.0 to 3.5?

Simplistic me would have thought that after3.0.7 we'd have
3.0.8 if a minor update,
3.1.0 or just 3.1 if a relatively major update, or
4.0.0 or just 4.0 if a major major update.

What's the thinking?

I have a Fx 3.1b3 portable and can see quite a few UI changes, many I
don't care about while a couple will save me using one add-on and css.

A few changes I like are the tab bar always showing /by default/
instead of auto-hiding; finally has a new tab button on the tab bar
after the (rightmost) tab; Bookmarks and History sidebar and Downloads
search boxes are now consistent with the Library search box in having
a search/clear button; multiple bookmark tagging is now possible in
the Library.

Other changes I don't care about are the Location bar now doesn't
drop-down unless searching bookmarks/history; Tools > Options >
Privacy, under History can change what the Location bar suggests;
Clear Private Data has been changed to Clear Recent History and from
the Tools menu it has options of what/how much to clear; and there's a
Private Browsing mode on the Tools menu.

While I still don't like some things and changes in Fx 3.x and (need
to) use more add-ons and customisations, Fx 3.1b3 doesn't seem to have
many improvements/changes I'm interested in.

As it was so well expresed in an earlier post in this thread:
" i appreciate the info but what about my question ?"

I really wasn't looking for comments.

Thank you, Rom.
At least some people know how to read (the question) and give an
answer.

Thanks again!
