Version numbers for XO-1/XO-1.5 vs XO-1.75 releases

[Samuel Greenfeld]

I remember Slackware jumping from version 4 to 7 because the lower 
number led people to believe it was behind what then just "Red Hat Linux".

My one concern though is if Fedora ever decided to do a point release 
like Slackware does this would lead to confusion.
