Do you propose that we create an actual 4.1.0 beta release (tag, test,
build packages, send out the announcement, update the RSS feed etc.),
wait a while and then release 4.2.0 stable with basically the same
code plus eventual fixes?

We did beta releases like this in the past but stopped doing
so because it wasn't obvious that it was worth the trouble.

Releasing 4.1.1 stable next without having released (announced etc.) an
actual 4.1.0 version might confuse users, though.

Currently the developer manual explains that "Y, the version minor,
is increased for every release except for pure bug fix releases in
which case only Z, the point or sub version, is increased.".

Technically it doesn't say by how much Y is increased so I suppose
releasing 4.2.0 stable after 4.0.0 stable wouldn't be against the
rule ...
