Description

In the past the jackson-annotations version was released inline with all other jackson components.
Now "other" are named "2.20.0" and this one "2.20" (without .0).

Has that be done by intention to de-couple jackson annotations from the rest ?

(currently I have one version for all jacksons and so build fails with
`Could not find artifact com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:jar:2.20.0 in centralMirror`)

The "[Release notes](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-annotations/releases)" does not mention something in that direction (to be precise it is completely empty ;-) )

**EDIT**: see actual [2.20 Release Notes](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.20)

**EDIT**: see [discussion#90](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-future-ideas/discussions/90) for more on decision to go with "2.20 plan".
And [JSTEP-1](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-future-ideas/wiki/JSTEP-1) for the wider discussion on Jackson 3.x versioning.
