README: Stop describing odd/even as Linux kernel versioning

The Linux kernel hasn't used this versioning scheme for years
(the last odd-numbered development branch was 2.5).

We are still using the odd/even versioning scheme, and so are some other
library projects. Cite GLib and SDL as better examples of projects that
still use it.

 Version numbers
 ===
 
-D-Bus uses the common "Linux kernel" versioning system, where
-even-numbered minor versions are stable and odd-numbered minor
-versions are development snapshots.
+D-Bus uses the same odd/even versioning system as GLib, SDL and older
+Linux kernels, where even-numbered minor versions are stable and
+odd-numbered minor versions are development snapshots.
 
 So for example, development snapshots: 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.3.4
 Stable versions: 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.3
