If we switch away from lockstep major/minor release versioning
anyway (again separate discussion underway but seems a distinct
possibility) then I think the confusion over why stable point
releases are mismatched becomes less of an issue. At that point we
may want to reconsider and actually tag each of them with a
sequential micro (patch in semver terminology) version bump. Could
help in communication around security fixes in particular.

I think if we get stable branches back into the openstack/openstack
pseudo-repo it might help in this regard. Also Robert's plan for
requirements revamp should make it easier for us to keep track of
what versions of which dependencies were used when testing these.
