I changed the terminology in my latest changeset: http://hg.python.org/devguide/rev/f39d063ab3dd
Important to notice is that the major / minor distinction isn't relevant in most contexts, while the feature / bugfix distinction is. Where "major" plays a role, we can simply avoid the term by talking about Python 2 and Python 3, which is more explicit too. I doubt this needs to be revisited before 10 years anyway.
FWIW, I like the changes, and you did them better than I would have.
