Let's review version number math:
2.6 = 2.600000
2.17.1 = 2.017001
2.600000> 2.017001
Looks like it should have been 2.6.0:
2.6.0 = 2.006001
2.17.1 = 2.017001
2.006001< 2.017001
Version number suck. And clearly, three-version numbers suck harder.
Best,

I think, the best way out would be a hard consensus and CPAN reindex.
This might break some things in the first way - but my experience as
Perl module packager for pkgsrc packaging system is, that most authors
do not react until things fail (and many of them do not react then).
But this will touch the sacred cow of downward compatibility ...
We can't have both.
