But "minor version" and "major version" are readily understandable to the general reader, e.g. me, whereas "feature release" and "release series" I find are not. Couldn't the first two terms be defined once and then used throughout?

To me "minor" is a bugfix release, e.g. 2.7.2, and "major" is a feature release, e.g. 3.3. I have a hard time considering 3.2 or 3.3 "minor".

Antoine.
