Are these really a concern?

I would go for 5.x as a new epoch of releases.
Each application has its own dependencies, whether these are KDE libraries or 
Qt or domain specific ones, each having their own versioning scheme and 
current numbers.

Some applications even have their own version numbers, so this will only be 
the version for the bundle, no?

Kevin
