No. What I meant is that I want to increment the minor version
when we change as much as "0.4.8 -> 0.4.9". It removes
misleadings about amount of changes.

Ah, my words were incorrect. "bugfixes in trunk get backported
to latest release branch" is that.

Suppose that we have 1.2.0 as latest stable release and a bugfix
is committed to trunk. Then we backport the fix to "1.2 branch"
and 1.2.1 will be released later.

And to prevent causing a time lag between the commit and tarball
release.
