I disagree. I would personally find one point two zero point one to be more natural and easier to understand.
In that case it's actually the twentieth (or more likely twenty first) minor version though, it's not actually a decimal
I disagree with that, because we're dealing with a number and not a fraction. Linux kernel 4.20 is not equal to Linux kernel 4.2, we're actually dealing with the integer 20 here. (yes, alphabetical sorting on a download server has lead me to download an outdated kernel version once)
