Where *did* you learn logic? Only non-minor things have
causes?

Right. There is a reason, being friendly to Debian users who
happen to also sell CD's. The effect is minor, and technically
indistinguishable from the previous scheme. The reasons for the
objection are
a) a misconception that an release engineering error is policy (It is
not our intention to have released versions be mutable)
b) a misunderstanding about the new numbering scheme. (All releases
will be distinctly named).
c) aesthetic objections to the new scheme?
