I thought we had a discussion about this before and determined that this
would be confusing.  My understanding was that at some point we agreed
that we'd only go with three levels, and to just "burn" a point number
if a situation like 4.1.6.1 ever came up again.  There's no reason to go
back and revisit that decision.

And Jan's point (as I understand it) is that the Xen tree has not been
tagged yet, and so the Xen release number shouldn't be restricted by the
fact that the corresponding qemu *has* been tagged.  So I suspect he'd
object to 4.6.2.1 for the same reason he objects to 4.6.3.
