Indeed so. The recent official GCC release timeline went like:

2.7.x
2.8.x
2.95.x
3.0.x

The .95 indicating that it was "nearly 3.0". There never was an official
2.9, although the public GCC CVS repository called itself 2.9-something,
which is why Cygnus (as it then was) used that as the basis of release
numbers at the time.
