It is not 5.8.8 because 5.8.8 is no longer suitable for the current
Gnus development code and it is confusing when 5.9 is active.  It is
not 5.10, because 5.10 is for the beta releases.  It is not 6.0,
because Lars is still the main maintainer. I just do it when Lars is
busy.

PGnus used extra digits. If you search for
<rjln8c8ug5.fsf@feller.dina.kvl.dk> in gnus.ding group, you will find
the user-agent was Gnus/5.070098 (Pterodactyl Gnus v0.98).
