I won't argue with bizzare, but it's common in version notation. If it wasn't already common, it would probably become common shortly after the first time a big respectable company hit the "oops what comes after 9" problem and decided on dot-separated-integers rather than significant digits :)

Is it that bizarre? It's basically semantic versioning, that is a hierarchical split based on levels of change (major = new release with possibly big breaking changes, minor = some incremental update version within the same release) and so on. Who ever thought version numbers are decimals and why? The "." appears as a separator on all kinds of strings in software (filenames, domains, and IPs probably the most common ones).
