You could also drop the “.” in this case, saving another three.

Even better: drop the number.

That's one step too far, though. There'd be no way to distinguish them without that number.

Oh, you were actually serious? I thought we're making dumb jokes here with claims of willy nilly dropping digits from a version number being significantly faster to type.

Well, semi-serious. Doing this to "save characters" is obviously silly, we've spent way more characters discussing how to save characters than could possibly have been saved (and it's not a valuable "savings" regardless). But I was paying attention to the practicality, because IMO the best silly things are things you can take seriously.
