Even when we had that, we release no alphas the patch version - for x.y.z (z>0). x.(y-1).89 is thus compatible with the sequence, it comes after all x.(y-1).* stable and before the next stable x.y.z.
Between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 there's no extra number needed. What we had with the x.y.z.v was special I think.
