I am beginning to wonder about whether we really need 4 part release
ids. It seems to me that a distribution is uniquely identified by a
branch id (10.1, 10.2, etc.) plus a subversion commit-stamp. So to
continue with Kathey's example, the following release id contains all
the information we need: 10.3.706492.
I am uncomfortable with changing the version string in this way,
especially on the release branches. I am also uncomfortable even in
changing it as Mike suggested. I think I know some users that explicitly
expect and parse the 4 part version string. If you like I can check
with them, but I would rather not go down this path if we can avoid it.
