Is anyone besides Oliver and myself interested in package version number reform? I'd really like to produce a `better' set of rules for the handbook that eliminates some of the edge cases, and then re-version the relatively few ports that don't fit the rules. Oliver's PR is as good a starting point as any that I've seen--- it goes further than our current rules and only conflicts with them in one case.
