It kind of makes sense if you're using only things whose behaviour cannot 
reasonably change. It is reasonable to expect that if Data.List, say, were 
removed from base, that would be accompanied by a change of the first 
component of the version number.
There's no guarantee, since PVP only demands the major version (the first 
two components) to be changed, but common sense says revolutionary changes 
should show up in the first component.
