Honestly, I agree with you. A current client has been trying to dictate our version numbers purely for marketing purposes and we've been pushing back since the start of the project. They originally wanted us to release 1.0 as 1.5, literally so they could imply that the software was further along than it actually was at the time (software marketing people sure seem to love lying to their own potential clients). At least we no longer tie our sprints to version numbers (also at the behest of the client). Our scrum master eventually decoupled them unilaterally because the workload was getting ridiculous, and our internal project management was ending up as simply a formality because of it. We're all grateful for that one.
