I think it'd likely be sufficient to bump them only once per release
cycle, ie, there's no need to distinguish versions that never appeared
in the wild.  But if we forgot and created 1.1 early in the 9.2 release
cycle and 1.2 late in the cycle, there's no great harm done either.
What I don't want to be doing is creating artificial version bumps with
empty upgrade scripts in every release cycle --- that's make-work for
us, and make-work for our users too.
