In general, the software world is not clear about these terms. However,
the most common usage seems to use "point release" to refer to any
release with at least one period in the version number, which would also
include minor releases. By contrast, "patch release," though a much less
common phrase, unambiguously denotes a release with a version number
containing two periods.

The existing doc guidelines page attempts to combine too many different
topics at once and includes information that does not pertain directly
to the documentation. This reorganization is intended to make each type
of information easier to find. For example, some have found it difficult
to find the documentation style guidelines (see, e.g.,
QubesOS/qubes-issues#6701#issuecomment-875875610). This reorganization
allows us to assign more specific titles to each page.
General changes:
- Create new page for contribution instructions
- Create new page for website style guide
- Create new page for continuous integration
- Rename existing "style guide" to "visual style guide" in order to
avoid ambiguity with new doc and website style guides
- Retain existing page solely for doc style guide
- Update page names and permalinks
- Update existing links
- Improve language
Doc style guide changes:
- Add section on using sentence case in headings
(see QubesOS/qubes-issues#6756 and #1173)
- Improve section organization
- Clarify language
In order to better preserve the Git history of each file, file renames
will be handled in a separate commit.
Although the HTML tags are technically correct, it's probably more
important to preserve source readability and avoid the problems that
HTML-in-Markdown poses for localization and offline documentation.

Thanks to @GWeck for pointing out the need for this in:

Those are redundant, and yaml parser strips them in fact. By removing
them, loading and saving yaml file without any change indeed produce the
same output. This is useful for prepare_for_translation.py script (which
adds lang and ref tags) - to produce only change that indeed was made.
- Convert alert into text warning
(Now that every advanced page has the same sticky alert at the top,
it looks odd to have similar alerts above and below the h1 heading.)
- Update heading syntax
- Wrap text
There appears to be no strong reason that these pages are using a
different layout, and having this separate layout significantly
increases the ongoing doc maintenance burden.
