All sanity regarding product numbering was abandoned long ago. After 5.5
the concept of maintenance releases was introduced, with 5.5.1 and so on
designed as bugfixes with no new functionality. This was fine for a
while, but somewhere along the line it was forgotten about and now there
is no logic to the way NetWorker is numbered. 7.3 had such major
differences from 7.2 that it really should have been NetWorker 8.0, and
this caught a lot of users out, thinking it was just a minor upgrade.
It's looking like 7.6.1 should really have been NetWorker 9.0, IMHO.
