​Yes, I see this as a point for ​

​not having the internal versioning ​synced between all Calligra
components. In Kexi next up can go backward-incompatible changes in one
app, and this development can happen in parallel to the maintenance of the
"current stable". These are possible  reasons to more frequent increasing
of the major number for one app.
Any sharing between Kexi and other calligra apps  would happen via separate
repos anyway. Like kdiagram, kdb/kreport - that's most probably between
Kexi and Plan. Once it's not a monolith anymore, all these bits have can
change APIs to address different needs. (co-installability of many versions
can be a way to keep compatibility I hope)

​Good. So maybe syncing could be kept for user-visible "large" version
number plus maybe a release date. Like "Calligra 3, December 2016 release"
is just accurate enough for infrequent releases.
