I think it’s better to keep a separate version for each module for each extension may evolve at different pace.

I think we can treat the version of the Apache source package, the parent project, and the version of the convenient binary packages, the children modules, differently. For source package, we have a unified version and it get increased each time. For Maven binary package, we can publish separately by modules as needed with the module version increased independently.
