I've seen this before.  It seems to be a new(ish) convention for
labelling betas, the idea being that they're counting up towards
a 1.14 release.  I'm not sure what characteristics distinguish a
point release (final component starting with a low digit) from a
beta (yada yada high digit) -- or what they do if they need
another beta after 1.13.99.  I suppose both of those vary
per-project.

Furthermore, if you do not like any of [the many standards from
which to choose], you can just wait for next year's model.
