I don't know about other people but I find the 2.x vs 2.25.x approach
confusing. Will the first release of 2.x be 2.1? If so, it's unintuitive
asking users to interpret 2.1 as newer than 2.25.x.
Why not just declare that 2.26.x and greater (or 2.50 if you really want
to show a separation) is based on JAX-RS 2.1?
Either way, I would expect the 2.1 branch to show version numbers that
are greater than the 2.0 branch.
