My Definition of Deck Versions

I know that I often update my decks, especially as I get new ideas.  This led me to create a version system for my MTG blog.  However, previously I was unsure how I would differentiate between say, Version 7.2 and 7.5, in the tenths digit, as well in the unit’s digit.  And, for example, why should I call one deck Version 5.0 and another deck Version 6.0.
Well after pondering this conundrum I came up with a solution that makes me very happy.  That solution is that each time I switch out 1 card, and put another card in its place, the tenth’s digit will increase one tenth.  However, I will start at 1.0, not 0.0.  And, if I switch more than 10 cards, that will result in a change of a single unit.
For example, if I switched out 1 Unnatural Predation, and put in 1 Primal Frenzy, if the original Version that contained that Unnatural Predation was 7.0, then the version with Primal Frenzy as a replacement for Unnatural Predation would be deemed, “Version 7.1,” and so on, such that if 10 cards in total were changed from 7.0, then that would merit that the deck would merit the distinction of Version 8.0.
