I think Simon's reminder of Stefan's was about specifying something different from (1) above---it was just a list of good ones (as opposed to ones to be avoided). I was suggesting to tweak that to match what you wrote above. > Why would a server operator with only v0 and v1 at their disposal want > to choose v0 instead of v1, considering that -- as far as I understand > -- they are in fact the same? Because we may later discover some reason we not yet know that makes v$n+1 unsuitable after we introduce it, and we need to avoid it by preferring v$n instead?
