Yes.

Once it seems that 2.9.x works well enough for general use, we will
start calling it the "recommended" snapshot on the download page.
Eventually, 2.9.x will become 3.0.

The jump in version numbers was to indicate that 2.9.x included
significant new functionality (primarily sparse matrices) and to allow
us to continue making bug-fixing snapshots with sequentially ordered
2.1.x version numbers.
