Why are there strange version numbers in some of the WSO2 Carbon POM files?

I've been trying to build the 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 tags of WSO2 Carbon from here using Maven 2:

https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/tags/carbon/3.2.2

https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/tags/carbon/3.2.3

However, the Maven pom.xml files throughout the directory trees beneath these tags still refer to version 3.2.0 in both cases - am I missing something obvious please?

When I try and analyse the results of both the builds using our in-house tool I get identical results in the two cases (and indeed results that are identical to those for 3.2.0), which makes me think I may be building 3.2.0 repeatedly by accident.

3.2.2 and 3.2.3 are point releases and typically involves bug fixes/optimizations that do not introduce new features to the 3.2.0 release. If a particular component do not have any fixes/changes, the version still be the older version, no new version is introduced. This is how the versions are handled.

You're not missing anything. It seems they did screw up. Maybe that was their intention, but then it doesn't make any sense at all (at least for me).
