This way of numbering seems very confusing to me, and I assume to other people as well..
When ReactOS presents itself as 0.5-SVN, I would expect this to be a 0.5 release, and not a 0.4 release that is working towards a 0.5.

Because that’s what is being worked towards now, and there will be an
unknown number of point releases until it’s reached.

It’s also a bit of nostalgia, it’s what we’ve always done :)

Subject: [ros-dev] ReactOS SVN version naming
 
Hi guys,
 
I would like to understand what’s the rationale behind changing the ReactOS
trunk version from “0.4-SVN” to “0.5-SVN” (see revision 70818) whereas we
have just started to release ROS 0.4.0 only?
 
Thanks in advance for your explanations!
 
Cheers,
Hermès.
