Agree. For things like semantic versioning, in which “1.20.1” and “1.2.1” are two different things, you want to pronounce them “one point twenty point one” and “one point two point one”, respectively. But that is a bit of an outlier. File size should be pronounced “normally”, because “1.20” and “1.2” are the same value.
I disagree. I would personally find one point two zero point one to be more natural and easier to understand.
I disagree with that, because we’re dealing with a number and not a fraction. Linux kernel 4.20 is not equal to Linux kernel 4.2, we’re actually dealing with the integer 20 here. (yes, alphabetical sorting on a download server has lead me to download an outdated kernel version once)

In that case it’s actually the twentieth (or more likely twenty first) minor version though, it’s not actually a decimal

You make a compelling point. I concede to your logic, but refuse to change my ways.
