Sometimes it’s because the engineers feel like the changes are significant or fundamental in some way. Sometimes it’s because the marketing folks think it’s a good idea. Sometimes it’s the lawyers trying to break some agreements tied to specific version numbers. Overall these things can be quite arbitrary when we looked at from the outside.
