I don't really have that much against the original design. Sure, versions are often represented as a set of numbers rather than a decimal number. Having the version be a decimal number isn't incredibly hateful, only mildly annoying. Trying to do both, at the expense of things Just Working, and for marketing reasons... that's just horrible. -- rjbs
