It used to be, yes.

However, saying "1.1.x" applies to HEAD is irrelevant if there are never 
any releases made from HEAD. Version numbers are only applied to 
releases, and if the next release that is made is a release candidate 
for STABLE, then it will be 1.1.0-rc1 or something like that.

Having even/odd version numbers does make sense if releases are made 
from the development branch, so that they can be tracked separately from 
the stable branch.
