Similar to the "libudev is no longer required by mesa" in the 13.0.0
release notes ;-)
Sorry I could not resist.

So barring any compelling reason(s) to use month and a bunch of
volunteers to clear the confusion things will be YY.A.P.
I.e. the only difference between the new scheme is that major is
bumped to reflect the year.

Gents, please don't forget to cast your ack/nack on the secondary
topic - dropping $VERSION directory in the URL.

Thanks
Emil
