The release notes say (under "6.0"):

"PROCESS Version numbers are now simply X.Y where the leading 1 has
been dropped."

(from https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/news.html )

I'm guessing this is to start honoring the convention (e.g. from
semver) that backwards incompatible changes should only be made when
the major version number is incremented.
