I have this vague memory that 14.2.1 is a draft for 14.3.0, and that GCC
never has .1 _releases_. In the same way that 15.0.0 migrates to 15.0.1
before the 15.1.0 release.

Yes, see [1], section "Version Numbering Scheme for GCC 5 and Up".

Also, in gcc-mirror on github, gcc/BASE-VER in the releases/gcc-14
branch [2] holds 14.2.1.
