My question is, as different versions, of the same application, are released, it is a good idea or recommended that the CFBundleIdentifier reflect the version of the application as well. For example, one might have:

com.mycompany.MyApp2007
com.mycompany.MyApp2008
com.mycompany.MyApp2009

If it is not a good idea or not recommended, why?

In most cases I would expect that one would change the CFBundleVersion and other version-related items in the Info.plist rather than the bundle identifier. There might be cases in which one would want to change the bundle identifier, though--perhaps for a sweeping, clean- break change in the app. Remember that preferences and the like are keyed off of the bundle identifier, so changing it would give you some work to do in migrating older settings.
