Why can't they count to 4?

I accepted it when Knuth did it with TeX's versioning. And I sort of accept it with Python (after the 2-3 transition fiasco), but this is getting annoying. Why not just use natural numbers for major releases?

I think I heard on a podcast with some of their team that they want 4 to be a massive jump. If I recall, they said that they want Haiku (the smallest of their current gen models) to be as good as Opus (the highest version, although there isn't one in the 3.5+ line) of the previous generation.
