Not sure I understand.  You worry that users will find it confusing 
whether version 112 or 112.1 is newest?

Then perhaps encourage the activity author to bump major version the 
first time minro version is introduced (completely unneeded technically, 
only for possible easier perception), like this: 111 → 112 → 113.1 → 
113.2 etc.

Which was (if I recall correctly) my reason for wondering why you 
postpone for 0.88: that would only solve the issue for that newer 
release, not older deployments.


Kind regards,
