Well, that's why I think the version number components are not correctly named. I don't think any of the 2.x or 3.x releases can be called "minor" by any stretch of the word. A quick glance at http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/index.html should be enough.

Agreed, but it's too late to change it. I look at it as the attributes of the namedtuple being evocative of the traditional names for the digit positions, not the assignment of those positions to Python's semantics.
