Sherif, release the verb and release the minor number are very well related to 
each other. The minor number represents a release number not a version 
number. Not every version is a release and not every release is a version. 
Many releases could happen for the same version and they are represented by 
minor numbers. Just try to look at it from the distributors point of view.

Release (n) merchandise issued for sale or public showing
Release (v) prepare and issue for public distribution or sale
(look onelook.com)

Hope this would release this contriversal topic ;)
