Makes sense, but they also had pretty aggressive detection of when compatibility mode would be helpful, so solving for the bugs with that seems like it could've worked. But I always like a good major version skip, e.g. Winamp (no 4, because they combined 2 and 3 to make 5), PHP (no 6, because... reasons), and nobody so much as thinks about IPv5.
