Well, given the fact, that Amiga uses libraries that are cross platform, we now need to reinforce this standard on the rest of the world.

AFAIK there is an $EXTVER tag, but no software uses it:

Also, since the proposal states "Note that the new version string is Not a replacement for the Amiga version string. It is only a complement and an amiga version string must always be included in the software independent of the original software version.", it is probably not so useful for people who want to make straight ports of stuff with three-part versions without having to change anything.

So in fact one should expect incompatible changes on a version increment.

Now, while we're at it, I would love to admit, that it is totally my mistake, that the version bump had to be made. We could have made it backwards compatible. But we chose the cleaner option with less clutter. Appologies.
