Some observations:
If Mojang had content to go along with this, it would almost definitely have received the 1.20 version number, in olden days.
This may be the beginning of a new paradigm: all future dot releases (1.20.1,1.20.2 etc) will likely be major breaking changes, with the only viable "long term" version becoming the .0 version - where all the previous version's in-development features "go live".
This is seriously screwed up by Mojang.
